The A/C in the house is really expensive to operate so me and the wife went for a nice long ride in the C10. The factory A/c works amazingly well in this heat. I'm really impressed with a system that is over 40 years old and still cools as well as a newer vehicle. I have a classic Mustang that has a Classic Air unit installed in it but it just doesn't work as well in this kind of heat. It's also fun to see other classics on the road with all the windows down.

It's probably the same concept as to why the heaters work so well on these trucks. You're only heating or cooling the cab, instead of also heating/cooling the back seat.
You might consider ceramic tinted windows and a window shade. Makes a world of difference. I've got a black interior and no AC, so it is a must. You can see from this pic how shaded the interior gets with the window shade installed, and I didn't even go with very dark tint
