I got this from site from a post by Isrx101:
AMA Automotive Air Conditioning Parts & Equipment - Compressors Condensers Accumulators Expansion Va: AMA13277-7005 - Complete After-Market AC System (AMA13277-7005)
The cost for the parts will run around $1000, but what year will make a difference of a few $100.

I just pulled the entire AC including controls ducts vents vacuum hoses wiring pretty much everything you need in good shape minus the compressor out of 75. I was hoping to find someone who wanted it free except shipping costs. Email me or post here if your intersted.

You may also want to think about looking into the underdash units like what Vintage Air offers. Usually they are less expensive. For a regular cab there isn't much area to cool so an underdash unit should work pretty well. It just takes up some more space and the passenger will have cold legs. Otherwise, it would be much cheaper if you can find a donor vehicle and change over the A/C system. Make sure you get everything from the donor vehicle. You'll have get a new condensor, evaporator and compressor I'm sure, but even with those new parts, you should be cheaper than an aftermarket in dash unit. If you do find Factory Parts, I'd suggest getting a newer Sanden Compressor to upgrade. I put in a new York compressor and even with a big motor it still "bogs" the motor down a bit plus they are just big and bulky.
