AC Units

Has anyone put AC on their 47-54? I have looked at Vintage and Coyote Air. How do they fit, work etc? What do you guys think.

I got the Vintage Air setup from a dealer in Nevada (Auto Motif)
Also got the " Front Runner" Front Drive setup,,,,,,,,, billet brackets for everything and Aluminum water pump it is really great
have not got the inside stuff installed yet yet........ but it appears to fit well

I used a Vintage Air Gen ll, works great here in the desert once you get the cab cooled down from 135-140*. The 5 windows are like cooling a green house, takes about 5 miles, the fan blows a good amount of air on high, and after it cools down I run it on med. If you are keeping your cowl vent pre fit the Evap and ducts to the defroster vent on the passenger side. I did not do that and after all was mounted and plumed I placed the ducts and had to move the Evap. down 1 1/2" so I could use the cowl vent and defroster (not at the same time!!!). Which ever one you use be sure and pore a quart of water in the evap. and make sure your condensate plumbing is tilted to the drain and you get a quart out of the drain ! Leaks are hard to correct after it is in place and your carpet is wet!!!

Did you guys use the under dash vents or did you fab up something for in dash? I don't know if there is even enough room for hoses etc. Anyway thanks for the responses and I am a ways from installing but just wanted to do the research.

Thanks Bernie

Also look into Old Air Products and Hot Rod Air.

I just hung the three vents under the dash, and two defrost vents.
I think I will install three round vents in the 53 that I am building. I saw a Ford the other day at the Chassie shop that had them in the dash and I liked the way they looked!!
