Underdash A/C
Talked to the vintage air guys at Louisville Saturday and no-one seemed interested in pointing me towards a unit that fits under dash on my non air 72. My heater works great as well as defrost and replacing that is out of the question. I have seen the old mark 4 units , but just not in 30 years or so. Have any of you guys got a picture, for reference ,of a properly mounted under dash unit in your truck? I would like to see how far they stick out and any feed back is appreciated. There isn't a ton of room from what I see to put one. Thanks.

Re: Underdash A/C
I don't have a pic, but I would love to have one of those units. Like you, I don't want to replace my working non-a/c heater system.

Here is a picture of the Mark IV unit that was in my '70. It worked great. I have quite a few pictures of how it was installed. Let me know if you want me to post them.... LockDoc

Re: Underdash A/C
Oh that is neat LocDoc, thanks. Even I might consider such a unit if these summers keep going so hot.

Re: Underdash A/C
Lockdoc, that's the same setup I remember from way back. The new Mark IV dash unit is deeper, just as I suspected. That is a clean installation on yours and I hope to get the same result. Thanks

Re: Underdash A/C
I have been considering this myself for my 70 Longhorn. But, if the folks at Vintage Air are kinda useless that could be an issue... Looks great LockDoc! How big a deal is it to install one of these units?

VA does sell that mark iv unit. Guess they prefer to just push their "sure fit" kits on people. http://www.vintageair.com/2015%20Cat...talog%2050.pdf The best place to find an original is going to be at a swap meet or on ebay. Last edited by F.A.A.benny; 08-10-2016 at 12:43 PM. |

Re: Underdash A/C
The original dealer installed units are hard to beat and they come up on here for sale once in a while. Clardy was a brand that was used a lot. Here is one we have.

Re: Underdash A/C
Keep us posted on how the install goes. I'm think the same one for my truck too.
