correct me if I'm wrong , some of this stuff doesn't look factory

jonzcustomshop · 08-20-2008, 01:48 AM

are those gm? or are they a dealer installed aftermarket?

joe231 · 08-20-2008, 08:08 AM

dunno, but i don't think they are "factory"

*LILRED66* · 08-20-2008, 09:28 AM

According to all the factory/dealer literature I have collected over the years, these items are not factory, as least for the 4-5-6 Chevy trucks.

I couldn't connect on the eBay links.

joe231 · 08-20-2008, 09:47 AM

thanks for the info Tony
I changed the links, give 'em another try

This looks like a compressor from a Ford Mustang. I remember because my mom had a 68 with A/C, and that is what i looked like. I could be wrong seeing the picture is not very good.

jonzcustomshop · 08-20-2008, 01:22 PM

If that is a ford compressor, I think they work good to convert to airride systems.

pquick · 08-20-2008, 01:58 PM

Really!? that is a great idea...have you done it ar any link to one doane?

**JQ-72** · 08-20-2008, 08:10 PM

The vents are correct for 64-66 GMC trucks. I had a 66 panel that had the factory a/c on it. It uses the same heater box as Chevy and pull cables are mounted under the radio. The vents bolt under dash on left and right side. A friend of mine has a 66 1/2 ton with it too.

This is the factory A/C set-up on the 4-5-6 Chevy trucks. The other set-ups are aftermarket installations.

RunninLo · 08-20-2008, 11:12 PM

the compressor is a york that was also labled as a motorcraft part and did AC duty on many 60's and 70' vehicles mostly fords and Mopar. They still make them and they make fantastic air ride compressors.
good info here:

Also anyone who has heard of the Oasis those are basically york compressors hooked up to a DC motor similar to those that run hydraulic pumps.

**JQ-72** · 08-21-2008, 12:24 AM

Here's a few pictures of the panel I had. Pics are not real good - 5 years ago and with a not-so-good camera!

joe231 · 08-21-2008, 12:37 AM

so the difference if Chevy and GMC

*LILRED66* · 08-21-2008, 10:30 AM

That set-up was not available on the Chevy trucks.

83burban · 08-21-2008, 01:58 PM

Factory option versus Dealer option maybe?

I understand , but was it available on GMCs
obviously the Chevy a/c vents will not work with the GMC dashes, so something had to be different??

**JQ-72** · 08-21-2008, 04:46 PM

The photo LILRED66 shows if factory A/C for Chevys. The one I posted is factory A/C for GMC. The dealer add-on units all hung under the dash, like cars. GMC has a totally different dash than Chevy, hence the different A/C set ups.
