Hey you thriftee nickel types! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone thought of pulling an entire A.C. system out of a newer truck from the j-yard and trying to use the whole thing in our trucks? it sure seems the newer systems are durable, more compact, and run on r-134. If you could pick up a complete system for a couple hundred dollars this might be a nice alternative to the VA systems (and yes I Love them too, I have/had several, but they are pricey.) Other than finding a good way to mount the different style compressor what would be the other problems? Could a nice after market controller be used on these newer servo controlled systems? Just brainstorming.
