What's the Best/Coldest A/C for our trucks???

I am wanting opinions on A/C units. I'm not concerned with factory fitment or retaining stock controls. I'm only interested in how fast, how cold it gets, and number of vents.

I retained most of the stock system and upgraded to the 134 gas and a Sandon compressor and it will flat freeze you out if you put the fan on high. Where I go to the lake at it is usually over 100 degrees and the AC will keep the cab very comfortable.

Re: What's the Best/Coldest A/C for our trucks???

Anyone tried the Southern Rods and Parts a/c package? It's a great price (about $800 for a complete kit), and I've heard good things from people with hot rods but nobody with a C10. Just wondering if it's any count (fitment, cooling, etc.). Like a lot of others have said, I've never heard one bad thing about VA. They've been put into about every level of custom, standard, truck, hot rod, etc., so you couldn't go wrong with them.
