Yeah, a weird time of year for this subject....wouldn’t mind having some a/c in my ‘79 K20 next year. Truck originally had it but most of the components were gone when I got it. I know there are kits, but I’m not putting a $1500+ system in a truck I paid $1000 for. I messed with converting factory systems when I had 70’s Cadillacs several years ago, worked ok, not great. How about taking the entire system—or as much as practical—out of a later model factory r134 truck and adapting it? Anybody tried it?
