Once you incur the trouble of taking it apart and out, why not customize the replacement to your liking?

I could be wrong, but it is not just the external hvac box that is different, but the ducting in the dash. I dont think it would be feasable without destroying the dash and rebuilding.

Look at the write up tom pryor just had on the forum adding a dual fan/blower to fix the hvac problems. I think he has something with that and am planning on doing that to my 75.

I have plenty of 78 parts. So I'm putting in a complete 78 Royale rear bath interior, and all windows. Complete 78 rear suspension with the air ride controls, and compressor. The 78 taller rear inter fender wells. So when done. I want it to have all the 78 up grades included. With new furnace, roof A/C, frig, and cook top. Thus it will be a 78 Royale with a 73 body shell only.
