I honestly wouldn't get too hung up on the AC thing. Adding the vents and controller is really easy. The rear air can usually be found, and I haven't had one of these trucks yet that I haven't put vintage air in instead of the using/ rebuilding/ finding the stock system. I know some guys on here are great at fixing them and have had success in converting them over off r12. I have just found the aftermarket kits easy and reliable. Not necessarily the cheapest, but the most headache free for me. It would definitely be an added bonus if you can find one with factory AC, but I wouldn't hinge the purchase of a nice clean burb on that issue. This is JMHO though.
