Last month there was a complete factory A/C system on Ebay that went for less than $200, and even included the center dash vent. Might want to do some hunting there.
There are several companies selling kits and parts. I bought a "Sure-Fit" 134a kit from Classic Auto Air. Aside of one small detail, the installation was pretty slick and allowed me to utilize the stock factory heater controls to operate the system.
I had called 5 different suppliers, got their stuff, looked through it, called them all again with questions. The supplier I picked seemed most familiar with our trucks and backed it up by sending me the 24 page install guide that included pictures and was written step by step just for our trucks. (the pictures were of a 60-63, but they also have 64-66) So I felt like I was getting less of a "universal" kit. The unit is a newer compact design, utilizes the existing dash control panel, includes all the hardware and compressor brackets. I did have to buy a three row crank pulley and 2 row waterpump pulley (which you could pull from a yard for a couple bucks I suppose).
