I think it's an old aftermarket a/c unit?? It's in my C-20.

I can't really make it out on this computer, the monitor sucks bag, so I can't help ya bud

Alexis · 11-19-2003, 05:35 PM

aftermarket. I've seen a few. I know there was a talk about it, if it was dealer installed once.

lukecp · 11-19-2003, 05:36 PM

I also think that might be an aftermarket dealer-installed AC

rambler · 11-19-2003, 05:39 PM

Yes,, looks like one in my old 65 rambler,, similar style, it was a aftermarket dealer-installed.....

Yep,
That there is a pretty common sight in Texas,
It is an add-on a/c unit, they were manufactured by a variety of companies (ARA, Four Season's and others)
I had one that was installed in a 1962 Impala and it worked a lot better that the Factory a/c units.
At Times It would even blow ice, but that was in the R-12 day's.
The unit needs to have the proper drain to allow condensation to exit the cab.
It is kind of a universal fit's all unit.
I do not know how they would work under the R134a condition

rigo · 11-19-2003, 06:29 PM

looks like a the rare option of a factoy installed shin splitter......

dealer installed a/c...looks like;

11-19-2003, 07:14 PM

I used to have that in my GMC, and its not a RPO, but a dealer add on... I have a pic but I cant find it. I'll look for it later tonight....

*Randy70C-10* · 11-19-2003, 07:45 PM

Thanks guys!

**JIMs70GMC** · 11-19-2003, 08:11 PM

Post a pic of the compressor, Randy.

lux hauler · 11-19-2003, 09:11 PM

I've got one in my truck too. I'll post a pic of it later tonight.

*Randy70C-10* · 11-19-2003, 09:12 PM

It's raining.

Was there a compressor Jim? You have a better memory than I do, because I honestly can't remember. lol

lux hauler · 11-19-2003, 11:17 PM

Here's the one in my truck.

lux hauler · 11-19-2003, 11:19 PM

Here's the compressor.
I'm gunna use the under-dash unit but I'm gunna find a different compressor......this one's ugly.

I'm gonna bet a nickel here that it's an old York compressor. Anyone want some of the action?

*Randy70C-10* · 11-19-2003, 11:56 PM

Not sure that I want to go take a pic in the pouring rain so you can win a nickel.

hgs_notes · 11-20-2003, 12:43 AM

I just saw one yesterday. Can't remember ever seeing one before then. It doesn't look any worse than those old 8 track tape players.

doughby82 · 11-20-2003, 04:18 AM

i would say that is a york also.i used to run one on my cj7 for on board air.ahh that gives me an idea for air bags now,lux you wanna sell that compressor(if it is a york),

**JIMs70GMC** · 11-20-2003, 06:22 AM

The reason I said post a pic because I believe the compressor is not original to the unit installed. Had pretty nasty looking brackets if I remember correctly, Randy.

PS It's not raining now!

*Randy70C-10* · 11-20-2003, 10:59 AM

But now I'm at work. :p I'll take some better pics this afternoon.

**oldiron** · 11-20-2003, 11:25 AM

Randy, Are you looking for one? I have one of that style.
Dennis

*Randy70C-10* · 11-20-2003, 11:37 AM

Dennis, I already have one, just wasn't sure what is was. I'm still fairly new at this and haven't seen one of those before. Are they worth anything? Since the truck runs, I need to see if this thing actually works.

gonebad2 · 11-20-2003, 12:36 PM

Here is a pic from the option page (1970) of an underdash A/C unit.

**oldiron** · 11-20-2003, 01:38 PM

Randy, $25.00 at the best.
