Being in GA...I understand! I am putting A/C in mine...I bought a vintage a/c package. If I had to do it again, I might do the under dash mount. It is what I remember when I was young and they look nice IMO.

My thinking is the vents can be tipped up, but also, when I make the bracket to mount it to the floor I can angle the unit up so it's at least blowing the air up above the seat bottom.
I just found a complete set-up for AC, power steering, alternator bracket, correct pulleys and all brackets in the junkyard for a Square Body truck, and grabbed it all for the K10 project. The factory brackets and pulleys aren't correct for the '62 K10, but they're COMPLETE, and factory, so they still have an OE "Correct" look to them. And more importantly, it's all there and all works together, rather than piecing it all together or buying aftermarket stuff.
I'll hunt an underdash unit at my swap meet, and while none of it will be "concours" correct, or even strictly period-correct, it'll be correct enough for the casual observer.
