Interior custom ac pics
 
A few pic of a VA Gen II Compac installed into my 65. Welded up the dash and installed the controler and vents in dash for an OEM look. Not that hard of a modification and system will freeze you out which makes the adjustablility of the electronic controled system perfect to adjust the vent temp to suit.

That shifter is the one I've been looking at to run my 700R4.....

Very Nice...

hey coolair...did you have to modify any of the linkage to make that shifter work? i just heard some guys talking about how it isn't bolt on...i have a th350, and by the way....your truck's interior is clean and looks awesome!

Well done!!!:cong: Any idea how much $$ was invested?

Iron Butt...picked up the parking brake handle @ a swap meet for 5 bucks......guessing it came from a import??

Revn67........The shifter wasn't in sync with the trans....call to Lokar tech dept and had a simple fix....re-arch the shift rod and re-adjust....works perfect. Other than that no problems with the shifter.

Volvo Matt.........Don't want to know...or my wife to know either. Learned a lot building it and have a blast driving it around...just cant pass too many gas stations.

Slick ride coolair. How do you fit speeding tickets in the glove box though? Kidding aside, looks great!!!!!!!!! Jerry

Idanny - here is a straight on dash/gauge shot. They are Classic Insrument gauges purchased from RB's Obsolete in AZ. A few shots of the engine compartment also........

CoolAir where you at in Texas? I'm assuming central/eastern? I was over at my cousins near Taylor and that looks like the same cornfield!!:lol: BTW, that truck is awesome. I love it, and I'm a '67-72 convert since I bought my panel.

Re: Interior custom ac pics
 
love the look have many of the same ideas with my 66 for the interior how much was the overall cost. of and sweet engine pics im a fan of the serpentine belt setup up and one more question what brand of paint did you go with and what was the cost of paint and prep?

coolair, the truck looks awesome. i just got my truck and one of the more pressing issues is the AC. i really wanna be able to cruise around in town with my son, but he is a baby, and he definitely needs the AC. where did you get you system. what was the cost if you dont mind me asking? also, i dont have the same big beautiful motor you have, mine still has the I6, so will a system like that still be compatible?? thanks in advance! :metal:
