Re: Old Air products
I have an Old Air products A/10 compressor in my truck....I love it! It is the upgrade to the factory A/6 and bolts to all of the OEM brackets. I do not know about their complete systems, but I am impressed with their replacement compressor.

Re: Old Air products
I have Old Air and my Dad has it too. Works great. I live about 10 miles from their sales office if it helps.

Re: Old Air products
I have been running a air/heat/deforst unit for 5 yrs and have not had a problem. Told them I wanted to use a bulkhead fitting and they set the unit up with all the connections coming out the side of the unit. I also bought a brand new set of '72 controls from them.

Re: Old Air products
I got mine from Brother's, they had them on sale for $899. Might still be that price if you look.
