For those guys restoring their factory ac and heater boxes
Thought I'd post a video for you guys thinking about doing this to your boxes. It can be done to look very nice. Basically showing a before and after final assembly of the boxes describing all the parts that go to it.

Re: For those guys restoring their factory ac and heater boxes
I did this, not as well though. I wish I could have removed my internal door (flapper) but guys on here talked me out of it. I was able to repaint the outside side, at least that won't rust.

Re: For those guys restoring their factory ac and heater boxes
Benny if you can please post pictures and document the work you do on apacheIvan's truck. Of course with his permission. His truck is a great example of what a lot of folks are dealing with on their A/C.

Re: For those guys restoring their factory ac and heater boxes
Hi Banny, sorry I forgot to let you know we received the A/C unit you sent us (I have yet to install it). You do excellent work, thank you very much.

Re: For those guys restoring their factory ac and heater boxes
Hey Benny, what did you use on the outside of the box once you had it all clean. I stripped all the paint off mine, it looks very light, did you use any clear over it or use any product once you have it clean?

Re: For those guys restoring their factory ac and heater boxes
I guess i shouldn't have put it that way. What I meant by not doing service work is that I primarily do restoration of the parts. I can and have taken jobs when it was a complete restoration with installation where the owner is in no hurry. And that's pretty much the only service type jobs I take. Because the parts restoration jobs take up most of my time. And yes the housings are bead blasted and cleared.

Re: For those guys restoring their factory ac and heater boxes
ApacheIvan, if you would like to take it to a place that works with r12, check out McCain's A/C auto repair in Dallas. They work on classics and still work with r12.

I will look them up. Do you think I should just get the r12 muffler, disassemble everything and clean it out, buy a new drier and put it all back together dry?

You can do that. Then just take to them and have them charge it

Re: For those guys restoring their factory ac and heater boxes
Do you recommend I put oil in the system when I put it back together? When I put it together the first time the guy that put in the r134 said I was supposed to pre-oil the compressor, put oil in the condenser and drier. Is that right? If so, I think our systems are supposed to have 8oz of oil. Do I put all 8 in before sealing it all up? then they just put the R12 in it?

Re: For those guys restoring their factory ac and heater boxes
Thanks, so put all 11 oz in before sealing it up? You actually put oil in the drier too?
It is 3.25lbs of R12 yes?
