Vent Windows

[knightowl73]

hell whadda ya mean bro? im in houston too, and this is my 5th squarebody truck in 3 years so far. i do definately feel ya on the need for vent windows, but adding your a/c isnt that difficult or expensive as u might think. my last truck got upgraded a/c from pasadena pick-a-part for less than $200! so many trucks to choose from at the time. i robbed the complete bracket setup from a 88-91 with alt, a/c compressor and power steering plus the lines for my '82 all for $120. all was from a system that still had freon in it too. put it on my truck, pulled a vaccuum on the system , and charged it myself with the cans from autozone that have the guage on them. never had a problem with it either, sold the truck and it was still working some 7 mos later. its not all that expensive if you look in the right places.

i lucked up and didnt spend money till i found a complete non-open system and got it all, if the setup you get from the junkyard had been open, then yes id buy a new compressor, but just look. isnt the first ive done this way for cheap like this, just has been the last. i dont need to look for it again for this truck now, i bought the truck and it was all together and working. i took it off to do some motorwork and just never put it back on yet becuase now i want to paint everything so it would be easier without it.

while im not looking, you probably need to get a head start. i look till i find them, never lookd more than a week before i found a nice unopened system with freon in it. they are out there. and the guys parting the suburbans on CL too. good place to look
