As some of the others stated, pulling the dash is difficult but IMHO worth it. My heater box was leaking a/c condensate under the carpet in my 88 c1500. What started as a leak repair ended up as a full a/c job... The two halves of the box had black RTV in the tongue and groove joint that was...

1. This is the exact look I'm going for out of my 88 c1500 silverado reg cab long bed. Always wanted a 2 door tahoe/yukon.
