Recommendations for adding a/c to '65

[Charles-65F350]

I want to add a/c to my truck ('65 F-350). I have a compressor which I'm rebuilding with neoprene seals (planning on R-406a) and a condenser/aux fan. For the cab I'd like to use a combination heater/evaporator assembly that replaces the original heater box, instead of an add-on hung under the dash. I notice they cost quite a bit more than the under-dash units though. Any recommendations?

Where can you get that combination box from?

Try www.air-tique.com. They run around $369 and up for heat, cool and defrost. I've got mine on order now but they are about a week behind (August is a hot month!) About $50 less if you don't need defrost door/ducts. Also any dealer for Vintage Air, but they tend to be more expensive. www.springfieldstreetrods has lots of a/c stuff too.

Thanks,I am trying to get my plan figured out for my 66. I am sure they would make the parts for the motor I plan to swap in it (351 or 400. Are there any modifications to the dash needed?I am trying to keep it as stock looking as possible.
