There could be, there might not be. That being said, most A/C shops wouldn't touch it if you didn't agree to replace the rest of the system, plus you run the risk of killing the new compressor.

Didn't mean to scare you off from getting the truck! Pending on the condition of the rest of it and the asking price, I'd still be interested. Plus non working A/C would be a great price negotiator.

On these old Trucks the A/C is usually dead anyway, and if it isn't it will be soon unless it has already been upgraded or atleast serviced with new parts. So I wouldn't let a dead A/C deter you.
