Aftermarket A/C ?

Has anybody used the Vintage Air units or any other brand of aftermarket A/C units?

Thanks

GMC Paul sells a great after market Air Unit for our trucks. Vintage Air is also good. Have not heard anything bad about eather. GMC Paul is a great supporter of this board.

Re: Aftermarket A/C ?

Vintage Air is a well respected company in the street rod community. A friend who used to design systems for them said the one for our trucks worked well. If I am not mistaken, and I might be, he said it only recirculates (no fresh air option).

I have no personal experience with them.

Wow, I didn't notice that! I just looked at the Vintage Air website and there is no Max AC and regular AC! Thanks for pointing that out!

Re: Aftermarket A/C ?

My 80, that I bought 2 years, has aftermarket air - similar to vintage, has a Sankyo 505 (??) compressor. Works good and is a simple system to maintain. Just wish it had the linkage to the factory controls.

BTW, worked when I first saw it - I had to buy it!!
