Options for an 83

[gchemist]

Welcome to the site. I drive an 83 truck. Here is my take, install an aftermarket A/C unit. Under the dash is quicker and easier. The cab is small enough any good system will keep it ice cold. Check out Vintage Air from San Antonio. You can add serpentine accessories to optimize A/C cooling. Later model compressors work better. R134 requires a crossflow condensor and max air through it too.

I use a 90's serpentine belt and A/C system. Everything updated for R134 use.
