Wpotter is on the right track. Some truck compressors are fixed and they should work. You will have to verify which ones are or are not. The other good news is that if you have a variable displacement compressor, they can in some cases be easily converted to fixed.I have done this on my 70 Chevelle which I installed a 2004 GTO motor/trans in. I have only had it charged for the end of the summer, but it was blowing ice cold till I stopped driving the car in the fall. No fluctuating temps caused by compressor cycling. Do a Google search and you should find the article that shows how to do it. Good luck.
