A/C Heat options
What I want to know is if there is a cheaper more cost efficient way of putting air conditioning back into my truck because it originally had it, but doing it in a way that isn't going to cost 1000$-1500$ to do it. I was wondering if you could just adapt a system from a late model truck like a 96 Silverado for example if I took the 5.7 vortec out of it could I take the a/c heat system out of it and easily make it work in my 66 or possibly like out of a newer model truck that was equipped with a 5.3? Im just looking for options and to see who has done what. Any input is apreciated.

Re: A/C Heat options
Why can't you just update the original? Check out "project 64 cheapskate" in the buil section, Alex shows how to bring the original up to modern standards.

Re: A/C Heat options
Chevy.c10 I understand your idea, I myself have thought of buying my dad's 03 silverado 5.3 and putting engine/trans and heat/Ac into my 65 c10 long fleet. Updating it like this would make it a better daily.

Re: A/C Heat options
because your truck had a/c before I sell factory replacement vents I also make side vents that have a "factory look"

Re: A/C Heat options
I would like to do that but don't know much about how to go about it, on craigslist I found the whole a/c system from a 2000 5.3 including evaporator, condenser, dryer and what not and I was thinking about picking it up but I am unsure of it yet because this would all be new to me.
