factory air to vintage air conversion
 
Body is back on the frame (painted) and the drivetrain is in. Its time to install the new AC. Ive removed the factory ac to get a cleaner look. I am leaning towards the units from Vintage air simply because that seems what most people are buying. Anyone here done this? Also, are any moifications to the firewall or core support neccesary?
Thanks, Tom

I am also wanting to use Vintage but I only have heat in mine. I would like to also get more info on them and if all of there kits go completely under the dash. That is the look I'm wanting to go for.

you used to be able to get heat only and add A/C later. It has been awhile since I bought a unit from them. They are all under the dash and use block off plates for the firewall.

I only want heat I don't really need A/C but every thing ive found so far is both A/C and heat. I would like to keep it under the dash and out of the engine compartment, do you guys know where i can get just heat

I pulled the factory A/C and used an aftermarket unit and love it, and one of the guys that works with me ( Slickorange ) did the same. His was Coyote Air from Coyote Rodders ( in Georgia ) and mine was taken out of a fresshley completed Street Rod that changed hands and the new owner did not want it, so I dont' know hte brand but they are all pretty much the same basic unit. I have some buddies at Buckaroo Communincations ( Truck Builder, Street Rod Builder etc..) and they have used Vintage Air with great success.

Under hood shots and under dash as well.

This is on a non-Factory Air truck that at one point did have factory air on it, then I went to this.

Vintage Air is what both of my trucks have. I've been quite pleased with it.
