Underdash A/C Unit
I am looking for some pictures and information of an NOS Under Dash A/C Unit with the Chevrolet Bowtie and either 2 or 4 Vent Balls on the face.
I would love to find an NOS one to mount in my 1966 Chevy 4X4. Thanks!

Re: Underdash A/C Unit
NOS? Not before me buddy!
Known as a Cool Pack. Built for Chevrolet by Harrison I believe.

Re: Underdash A/C Unit
I am looking for the one from 1966. It looks different then the one from 1963. The Harrison-Chevrolet Unit is the one I seek also. It has the Bowtie on the full chrome face with 4 vent balls and has a 3 angle front. Here is a good shot of one in a 1966 Nova L79 SS.

Re: Underdash A/C Unit
I saw an underdash unit in a 63 on ebay a couple of years ago, the owner would not sell it seperate from the truck but it looked pretty rough anyway.
I love seeing those Sales Brochure illistrations, can someone post the Deluxe interior shots for a 1963. I am curious about the what all came with it and how it looked.

Re: Underdash A/C Unit
These vintage A/C units are "Real Cool" (pun intended) when restored!

Re: Underdash A/C Unit
FrigiKing was listed in the 63 Chevrolet Silver Book as a supplier of A/C units to GM Dealers and potential clients.

Re: Underdash A/C Unit
Here's mine but I can't find any info on it any where on the net, other than may have been invented by the guy who started installing aftermarket A/C in cars in the 60's. Arctic Air Premiere. Ice cold converted to 134a

Re: Underdash A/C Unit
I will try to get a pic of the Equip Aire that's in the '63. It came out of a '63 Impala but I think it was originaly installed in a Chrysler. Looks way cool though.

Re: Underdash A/C Unit
So, does anyone know if these things (if purchased new) are any good? How do they work? Do they use the engine at all?
