Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I like the Holley drive setup. Hope you didn't bloody up your knuckles too bad. That looks like a mean project.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Here is a couple pics of the new brackets with the correct SD7 compressor and the belt installed. I was WAY off on my initial belt length, I started at 106" and ended up at 100 5/8" (100.625").

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Rob (Hart_Rod) came over today and we got quite a bit done. The evaporator is fit and the vents are installed. I just need to finish the mount for the controls, fit the hoses and then do some detail work before doing the final install. Thanks for the help Rob, it always good working with you!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Getting started on a control panel trick stolen from n2billet. A little epoxy, some sanding and a coat of semi-gloss black and I will have a control panel... more to follow!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
What did you all have to order to make the Holley brackets work on your motor? I just started reading on the issue of trying to get a vintage air to work with a 5.3 and like what the Holley kit seems to offer. Im a long ways off from being at this point but just trying to gather all the info I can.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Thanks for the info Buck, you wanted it to look a certain way and its turning out great, making a nice truck even better.
I did have a couple more questions after reading over the fitment guide that you probably have sorted out already. Did you have to change your power steering pump or were you able to make the truck one work? And are you running the compressor rpm cut off deal they have in their guide? |

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I like the looks of the control panel, I might have to steal n2billets idea as well

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I'm really loving those pedals. I might have to bump them up to the top of the list soon.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Lokar did a great job on these pedals, but there are a few tricks to the installation. If/when you take the plunge let me know and I'll share my experience.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I figured the compressor would be fine since its rated to 9300 rpms and it looks pretty close to a one to one ratio on the pulleys.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Worked on my old truck a little today. A/C lines are cut and ready to be crimped and the control panel is mounted. Hope to have this project complete by the end of next weekend I miss riding her around...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
That's great! I hope you get it done. The wife and I took our 71 out today. Even in this nasty humidity without A/C it's still fun to drive around.
