A/C retro fit

[Ackattack]

I'm thinking of buying a 88+ pickup to swap the tbi fuel injection and possilbly OD tranny into project No-buck.

Now with a name like "no-buck" of course I don't want to spend any money either (I'll part out the rest of the donor truck and hopefully break even). Anyways, I would also (of course) like to have A/C in No-buck and was wondering if anyone had retrofitted the A/C system of a newer truck into one of our trucks?

The A/C compressor should be no problem as I'll probably just swap the entire serpentine belt system. I wouldn't think the condenser would be hard either. Where it gets tricky is the evaporator and the under the dash/heater core and blower setup. Not to mention the controls.

If someone has done it, post up some pictures or a how to.

Otherwise when I get to it, I'll give it a whirl. Hopefully it would work and would be a cheap way for many of us to get A/C in our trucks!

I swapped all of a 2003 A/C system into my '72, but I just put the evaporator in the '72 box. The '88 up trucks it's all inside the cab, that could eiyher help or hurt you. But I wouldn't think it would be impossible, would just have to pull it out and measure it to see if it would fit. The only hard part would be getting fresh air to it, and not just recirculating the air like all the aftermarket systems.
