Anyone built their own AC system from boneyard parts!
Always on a tight budget so looking for your ideas to add an AC system using and adapting from later models. Wide open to any thoughts, ideas or converisions that have been done.

Re: Anyone built their own AC system from boneyard parts!
I did all mine out of later model truck air except for the boxes. All the internals are from a 78-79 chevy truck. I have since bought all new replacement parts but they are for 78-79 truck stuff. Did away with the POA valve also and dryier.
