Re: Stock AC? or Vintage Air? That is the question!

More fuel for your fire...

My friend Dave used to own a 67-72 parts supply company and had access to all the stock a/c components so that is what he used in his personal truck. When I asked him if he would do it again, he said no. While the stock system with R12 will get a little colder, he said that a VA kit would be the way to go.

If your trying to build a 'correct' truck I can see using the stock stuff but if you goal is to have a truck with efficient a/c then a VA kit would be better in the long run even though the initial buy in is $1200.

Stay cool my friend...
