Which compressor? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kcabbie · 07-08-2011, 05:45 PM

This is not the stock engine. It came with a 454, so will the mount that is on the engine allow for the same compressor that is compatible with the other a/c componets? I have a pic of the mount. If anyone can shed some light on possibly what era the engine is from that would be great.
Thanks ahead for any help.

Looks like its for the later model radial compressor.

Here is the original compressor in my 77 Cheyenne. As you can see this is not the style you have. I feel its the later style compressor. Look here- LINK

That one is the Axial style the style you have the bracket for is the Radial style like the one in pic. I changed from the axial type you posted to radial style but you are missing some of the brackets as well there is a piece that mounts to the compressor as well as a piece that has another adjustment slot you just have the back piece so you could put either style back on it.

Okay, i'll see what bracket's i can get easier. I think there is one junk yard left here.. I guess that would be a good place to start.

bmchevy1979 · 07-09-2011, 02:04 PM

that would be about the only place you could get the brackets but you can get most other parts new. here is what the radial type looks like all together from a couple of angles sorry for the crappy pics old phone pics

Thanks for the pics! Very very helpful. I also will have to get lines that go to the a/c.
