A/C in the 71 Truck
I installed this compressor,condensor and late model acumaltor a few months ago. The system has been R-134A now for a few years. I got tired of the old A-6 compressor's going out on me after sitting up all winter so I swaped it out this time for this setup. Factory air box with a late model evaperator and the rest is all new from Classic Auto Air in Tampa Fl. I did away with the dryer also since I went to the Acumlator in the system.They sent the hoses with all kinds of fittings and I had to have one end of two hoses made up at the local A/C shop. Total price was $711.00. That included the compressor bracket too.
Parts: 67-72 Chevy Truck condensor Hose Set for 134-A Sanden V2gr 134-a compressor Bracket Sm/Blk Low profile Today it was 102 degree's here and I was running at 45 degree's according to my temp gauge in the center vent. Here is a couple of pictures of it.    Here is a over all shot of the engine.

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |
