But one big problem: You can get the little grills that direct the air but you CANNOT find the housing, either the late plastic or the early vinyl-wrapped metal ones to hold the little grills in place in the dash. If any one knows of a source I may be a customer. Vendors don't have

Dear Roydon,
Good news: yes the Pantera dash vent registers come from seventies Ford vehicles
Bad news: I can't remember if they were same vintage Thunderbirds or another model
Good news: someone else who knows the answer will see this.
Stiff upper lip, Chuck Engles

Hello, Anyone know if the heater vent registers were used in other cars (ford or italian). I need to get 3, mine always fall out when I apply the gas.
