Need something to hold my balls....
 

Hey all,
I've been installing a Vintage Air A/C system in my 69 GMC. It was an A/C camper model at one time, but when I got it, the A/C parts were gone. While installing my shiny new balls (vents), I came under the realization that I needed the original part that cupped my balls between my hose adapter and the shiny new external vent piece. VA couldn't point me in any direction for a reproduction...but I know all you expert scavangers could help.

If you got em, that's great, or if you know where to get em, that's great too!

Thanks,
Brad

That`s a ballzy post for a first-timer!Welcome,we`re really decent people here.Is there an extra piece needed to adapt the hose up to the factory balls`n`cups?

This thread is hilarious... lol

Balls are fun!!!

Balls,


I just wanted to say it too.... hey look one more post for me!!

That's it above.... The GM balls and ball holders are the same as the aftermarket balls and ball holders.

My wife loves 'em. (had to go there)

Thanks!!!
 

That's gonna do the trick. I also found them at Brother's Trucks, but a aroun d 50% higher on cost.

Thank you for the help!!!!!

But do you want to tell prople that your BROTHER is holding your balls in place while you drive????? (couldn't resist)

I need the ball holders but........ My truck is BLUE! :rolleyes:

So you need.....*snicker*....a.....*snicker*....BLUE balls holder...****WUUAAHAHAHAHAHAHA****

Brad, where do you live?

I have a non-ac cab.. guess that means I.. nope.. not gonna say it ......

I can't think of it but there is an air rapidly moving out of the system (ie the wind b..ws) joke in here somewhere that is going to get this thread moved.

what about the fuzzy felt that keeps your balls in place......
other wise your balls will flop around.....
i have a 100 ft roll of a/c ball felt........
your pal mark

So, you have the BALL FUZZ that everyone is talking about? Doesn't that make them sweat?? I mean, no one wants to reach up and adjust a sweaty ball!!!...all drippy....and...nevermind

uh...

As a serious comment.. You can get velcro in little self stick strips. The fuzzy side works well for this kind of application. I use it on my telescope mount to permit smooth movement (yeah.. another hobby to eat all my money.. lol )

You just gotta love "smooth movement".

If you want your balls held in place properly, may I suggest a board member? That's right, and since your a first timer, I'm sure your virgin to the concept that we like to get our ball holders from our wonderful vendors list that support this wonderful community. If they can not supply you with the proper ball holding equipment, I'm sure another member would be able to sell you a good, slighty used, (may need some cleaning/degreasing) ball holders. If I am ever able to afford an AC unit *snicker-unit-snicker* I will be turing to this board for help in finding a good set of balls and ball holders, I would prefer new balls, of course. Good luck in finding a good set of ball holders.

For a minute there I thought you were trying to play matchmaker.
