Re: Radiator and A/C

Here is now my radiator, condenser, and drier with binary switch ended up. I went with Vintage Air, and the kit comes with bracketry and hardlines. I had to make some modifications to the bracket to clear some custom stuff I did on the front and back of the radiator support, but all-in-all it was a quality kit. I also routed the hoses through the radiator support to the far passenger side instead of under the battery tray that the kit's hardlines call for. There are additional photos here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...288712&page=11

Re: Radiator and A/C

I used Vintage Air System for my 63. Kit was complete with everything except the pulley for crankshaft. I think I got a double groove pulley from Summit or Ecklers. When I ordered the kit I told them the motor I had in the truck which is a 250 six. A/C bracket for that motor was included with kit. Radiator is 4 row aluminum. Retained mechanical fan and had fan shroud made by local sheet metal company. The other thing I did was install a lower thermostat for summer driving. I have no problem with overheating even in Mississippi summers.

Re: Radiator and A/C

I used Vintage Air and very pleased. Highly recommend an aluminum radiator (champion) and electric fan. Im running a modded 292 with AC-PS. I built a bracket that mounts both the 12si alternator and a GenII power steering pump both on the same bracket. It puts the PS down below the Alt, but you need to run a remote reservoir too. If you need info and better pics let me know.
I had to modify the AC compressor mount for alignment with the groove I used and still have spark plug clearance.

don't know why the pictures got rotated, will have to look that up.
