Not this year we haven't. In fact we didn't even get above 70 here but 3 times and even then they weren't together.
But I'm planning on moving south soon and I want the comfort of a.c. for the trip. I've been up here since I was 9 yrs old back in '72 and am tired of it. I want to know what the REAL WORLD looks like first hand. And to be able to see a woman in a bikini WITHOUT having to pay a cover charge!!!

"women in bikini's" is reason enough in my book..........as promised here's a couple of pics of my engine bay with the compressor on passenger side.my favorite part was getting rid of the "ugly black box" in the corner.when i ordered mine the only controller available was to use a stock non a/c controller.i had a decal made up for the faceplate.that digital control won't work on a cable operated system.i quickly checked their website and i think it's still that way.but,one phone call will tell.

That looks great. Did you need anything special to make the kit work on the passenger side or did it come like that. I really like how it gets rid of that stupid looking box and accumulator hanging out in the middle of the engine compartment.

you can order it either way.it's a little more money.because you also swap the alternator to the other side.so you end up having to get different brackets.

that is a cool looking piece.wished it would work on mine.like i said in an earlier post.i think they only offer a cable activated system.the defrost,heater vent.and the valve that controls hot water all open an close by a cable wire that looks like a bicycle brake cable.just like the stock unit that's why i had to use a stock slide control.they didn't have a electronic controlled system yet.vintage air maybe able to put something together though.something else to check out guy's is two other companies hot rod air and southern air.when i checked into mine neither offered a "surefit" like vintage.but said it was doable with components.

Boat, looks great, I like it. Id be interested in getting one of those controller decals, any info ?

The Dakota Digital setup won't work on the Sure Fit series of our trucks, it ONLY works witht he Vintage Air Gen-II's.

If you get the Gen II and want a good price on the Dakota controller, let me know.

Just so I understand correctly... you can order it this way and it comes with all the correct brackets, including the alternator... or you have to buy that seperately?

I'm working on a new controller for my 87 similar to the one above. My shop pretty much
can make anything you could dream up. We have made a bunch of different controller's for all kinds of cars.

it cost's a little more for the bracket's on a passenger side order.i got shipped the wrong one's twice.i finally ended up getting them from allan grove.that's who vintage air uses anyway.but grove got it right the first time.
