Around $1,000.
I think they are the only ones who do not have a website. Call them and make sure they send you the install instructions for 64-66. Good Luck. 1-813-251-2356
The one negative that I chose to correct was that their installation calls for mounting the dryer on the firewall. (Who wants that pos on the firewall?) I chose to mount it next to the condenser behind the grille. Because of this I needed to change one of the fittings from a 90 to a straight leading back to the evaporator. This kit came with specific directions and pictures directly relating to our trucks. Even though most of these kits are universal in design, I was fairly impressed with the application to our specific model truck.
I am not telling you its the best, I can't. just consider it. I was pleased to be able to choose which side of the engine I wanted to mount the compressor, and bought Alan Grove compressor/alternator brackets separately.
Vintage Air's controls do mount in the stock location, but are not the stock look, (not that I care, really) and carry their logo.
