How the hell do you snake this hard plastic vent tube past the steering setup. This sends air to the extreme left air outlet.

Can it be installed with all thr other vent tubes in place or does it have to be the first tube installed?

It can be finagled in there. It's just frustrating and you have to hold your tounge right.

It was the only piece of duct I had removed that day, I seriously considered cutting it in two pieces.

I always found you slide it towards the center of the truck first, then up to the left vent. My plastic was still flexible so it made it easier as you will have to bend the driver's side tube to get it past the left vent.

Flexible???

This is a 46 year old OEM piece from my parts truck. I'm almost afraid to touch it lest it disintegrate.
