Anyone found a direct fit condenser of late? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Apparently one doesn't exist that's specifically for 134A??? which my original parts were reconditioned for, less the condenser.

From what I've read 134A works best with a parallel condenser as opposed the old tube versions, but apparently it works well enough with a tube condenser for my climate, and I'm not driving this thing anyway

I'd like something that mounts like intended, hoses and that. Thank you....

This might be an option....https://www.ecklers.com/1967-1972-ch...-178426-1.html

What about the condenser and mounts from vintage air sure fit system? I'm not sure exactly what the factory condenser looks like but the VA is pretty close and fits perfect.

I had to purchase generic and cut and reweld the tube ends off my old condenser

I used a generic condenser with the VA mount. With that I used an 18" #8 VA M-F u-bend-em through the radiator support with a #8 elbow and then made 2 hoses.

Got rid of the POA system and went with a cycling system with a different compressor.
