1966 C10 Factory in dash AC question

[corvettejim1968]

Vintage Air 4 Sure Fit is the best set up from what ive been told. only 9% of these trucks had factory air. i make after market "factory looking" a/c vents and nsb29 makes the ductwork so they will work with the Vintage Air. im also in Phoenix if you want to stop by and see it in person.

Thanks for the information I may do that and stop by sometime and chat about .... just really want to start looking at this now so by then I know what I am doing for sure! BTW those extra vents look fantastic and look factory for sure!

Ok so here is another question I think will really help me.

1.Does anyone have original factory in dash- air conditioning in there 1964-66 C10 truck now and converted to a vintage air system? If so, Which one did you use, and how does it REALLY work? Air cold? Blow hard? What factory controls did you use, if any... and which ones did you not use? And would you recommend it?

2. Does anyone have a original factory in-dash Air conditioning in the 1964-1966 C10 truck now that you rebuilt the original system but converted it over to 134A? Original compressor? Sandin compressor? different condenser? I understand LT1 did. How did it work? I was thinking if I did do that.... I would use a new condenser and Sandin compressor. Thoughts...? I really need to here from anyone who actually did this already and is actively using it and especially in a warm environment. Phoenix is VERY hot in the summer... I want my AC to actually work....

Please let me know what you have actually done and how it is working for you!

I really appreciate all the input so far, very helpful!

I am kinda leaning to rebuilding my whole system other than the compressor and condenser... the original compressor takes allot of power from the motor correct?? I would assume using a Sandin compressor then?
