Vintage Air Cab Pics?

Just what the title says. Looking for pictures of the installed unit inside the cab. Want to see how it compares to the original A/C stuff.

Thanks!

Another option for you. Mine has an Old Air Products unit. Company based out of Ft Worth Tx. I got bold and cut factory vents into mine, just liked that look much better. Included a picture of under the hood also. You have a choice there of smooth firewall or not. Mine is the standard setup.

Looks good! Do you know if you can use the original A/C controls in that unit?

Yes you can. Mine was not a factory air cab so didnt go that route. I think you can even use just the heater cab controls to control this unit. I know a lot use vintage air and they are highly sought after but wanted to present you an option. Here is a quote from their site and the link to the page:

http://www.oldairproducts.com/catalo...120132107.html

"These Custom Hurricane A/C, Heat, Cool & Defrost systems for 1967-72 Chevrolet Trucks Include adapters to use the original Factory louvers. Choose from complete or inside only packages with electronic slide control or integrated switching for the original factory Heater or A/C control."

magwakeenercew2jh That interior is amazing. What seats are those? Are the dimensions for C20 cab much different from C10 cab?

Re: Vintage Air Cab Pics?

Does the original fan speed switch work on the vintage air unit with the Factory A/C controls or is it incororated into one of the three sliding units? I thought i read somewhere that it's different.

I used the original switch with the VA wiring attached. Per their instructions. Same on both of my VA installs.

Re: Vintage Air Cab Pics?

Does all the heater stuff get deleted When installing one of these kits?

With the newer sure fit kit the fan switch is the top slider.

Re: Vintage Air Cab Pics?

I am installing a new vintage air kit right now. Really nice kit but could use a couple little things to make it great. I think it is a lot better than the older kits. I will try to post a few pics soon.
