A/C condensor question
Does anyone know if there is anyone making bolt in replacement condensors for 73-80 trucks that is designed to work with R134a ? I really want to change my condensor and do not want to use the old coil type . I would prefer a new style cond. If not has anyone installed a later model unit and if so what did it come from ? Pics would also help . Frank

Re: A/C condensor question
Srubydo1986 that's the compressor I believe he's talking about No. 1 on this lmc page. In answer to your question - I don't think so, when I went to APAC here in phoenix, this is a air conditioning parts store, they made no mention of a updated condensor when I told them that I was changing over to r134.

Re: A/C condensor question
I just did the r134 conversion and checked into this.....nobody makes a new style condenser for our trucks. There's so much space up there though, I imagine a condenser from just about anything would fit ok.....it would just take some custom lines to make it work.

Re: A/C condensor question
I looked and looked for a bolt in parallel flow condenser with no luck. All I was able to find is a universal one. I bought this 19.5x30.5 condenser from ACKITS.com
 click on the pic It should be easily adaptable to the stock lines with a couple short hoses. on my truck, I am replacing the GM compressor with a Sanden and will have custom hoses made.

Re: A/C condensor question
I forgot to mention that if you do switch to a condenser of this style, be sure to put an in-line filter in the line between the compressor and the condenser. These pf condensers cannot be flushed effectively if the compessor fails and pukes debri.
