Restoring A/C components? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Appears a common source for rebuilding A/C components is out of business or too busy. Couple questions, I'm looking for a factory appearance with R134A, recommendations for source to?

1. POA & Expansion Valve rebuild. The plating on both is likely good as is, but I'm open to the option for re-plated.

2. I assume a reproduction evaporator core? I have the old one, it was dry a long time, probably no good, though perhaps it's better to rebuild?

3. New Hoses & Muffler assembly

4. New Dryer & Condenser to fit

Not sure on the compressor yet, I may opt for a lightweight clone. Thank you
