Howard.... Again you amaze me and have come through! I like quiet rides better to be honest, I think the abs is worth the extra cost.
Also looks like they reproduce the heater box. Did you get one of those as well? Did it have all the flaps in it etc?? My box is usable but pretty tired.

I did not get the heater part. With the fact AC, heater box is eliminated and heat ducting is actually part of the AC box.

Aaahhhh, yes. Ac. Dur! I forgot.
I plan to call the about the box, because if it's an exact match it'll save me a ton of trouble. I couldn't build one better for the price they list.

The 52-54 they have also written on the box is more likely. IIRC, those go over the hump so would need that shape. 51-4 defroster hose comes directly off the metal heater outlet instead of the box. That open side connecting to the metal box looks big though. Maybe not Packard??
As shown here, the 55-56 boxes are flat with defroster outlets on top and the diverter flapper built in..

I have sent them an email back with pictures of the 55-56 so they can see the difference. I even offered to send them mine so they could make a correct repo of the 55-56.
we will see what they say. thanks again HH, I didn't even notice the 52-54...only the 55-56 in the middle.

Hi cli55er, did you end up with the right heater plenum?
What options are out there for a good replacement of the heater plenum for 56? My original cardboard one is not very useable. Cheers Russ

One option is that I could walk down to my cellar and pull one off the shelf, check it, and send it to you. Will make sure I have a good one today.
