I am refurbishing the interior of a 1968 walk thru bus. Question: What are those channels called that attach to the door panels that transfer air to the rear?
Where can I find them (x2)? |

Hi there,
I'm not sure what they are technically called but I suggest doing a search in Thesamba classified section for different keywords like freshair, etc. and I'm sure you'll figure it out. As far as I know they are not available new. you'll have to try to find original ones in good condition. Most are cracked after all these years. If you search the forum you'll probably find different repairs that people have tried on them. Good luck.

I've heard them called "fresh air ducts" or "arm-rest ducts" |
