Re: old air
I've never put one in a truck but I did put one in a 50 shoebox sedan. It was a nice unit. Good instructions a tech support. I'd use them again.

Re: old air
Is old air a company, or are you talking about an old air conditioning system?

Re: old air
Old Air is an aftermarket company that is, I believe, based in Tampa, FL. They offer setups similar to the other aftermarket AC guys. I have considered one of their kits but haven't decided which way I'm gonna go yet.

Re: old air
it's a short water pump. i dont really have any salvage yards around here. there's one in daytona but they have mostly newer stuff.
they are based in texas. the price for the system was really good. hopefully it gets good and cold. |

Re: old air
looks like a universal kit. then the hoses need to be crimped by someone. add's to the cost.
southern rod parts has the same kits. good stuff but universal. i got a quote on getting the 3 lines crimped and it was about 100 dollars. and then if you havent measured everything correctly you may be too short. they probably will crimp the hoses for you if you ship them back, at your expense, with measurements. i only went the way i did so i could do the whole job in a day or 2. no holdups.

Re: old air
I was referring to the ashtray hole where the
stock ac came out and the defroster vents. sorry I wasn't more clear. Also will heat blow from the plastic vents you are putting in for the ac? sorry bout all the questions.
