Vent Cable installation - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Good Morning and Happy Christmas!

I have a 62 Fleetside and have acquired cables to open and close the vents. But I'm not sure how they are to be connected. Can someone draw me a picture?

Thanks very much.

Terry, did you get the actual vents too? Because those came in 2 styles. Early ones actuated with a cable while later ones have a looped handle attached to the vent itself. Cables work only with early vents, but the both vents can fit all years kick panels so converting back and forth is do-able as long as you have the whole kit and caboodle.

I see, no have the type with the loop. I got the cables from a 64 Chevy car, I was just hoping to make it easier to open/close them.

Thanks

Look for a pair of vents like these.
