Looking to install a vintage air unit in this truck soon
For those that have done this did you need to get a bigger radiator or add an electric fan. Any concerns for engine starting to get too hot
I assume it utilizes the original heater core for heat?
Any tips or info apreciated.
Thanks. Mark

How does it do now? Does it run hot in traffic are stay cool? As far as I know they both have heater cores in the unit. Your factory core will go away.
Just some info from using the other AC system.
Classic air which I used in my truck and dad's 56 was cheaper and it didn't require a pry bar to install. I don't know about the truck unit cause I only used the motor side parts from them but on the 56 Bel Air Vintage air you have to pry the dash out to get the under dash unit in. Plus the Vintage air you had to cut the defrost stuff out of the car and use their's. I didn't want to do that.
Classic air didn't require a pry bar and it had the defrost extension to hook right up to the 56 vents.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!
LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
