you can have your truck retrofitted(switched) from the r-12 to the 134-a. New fittings will also need to be installed

True, I just did my B2s A/C today, went to walmart
and picked up a retrofit kit for $30 that came with
3 cans of r-134 with the oil in it and a charging hose
and new fittings.

In less than a half hour I had nice cold air coming
out of the vents

Of course, your A/C system has to have a working
compressor and no big leaks, I had to tighten up
the hose fittings going to the compressor, we'll
see if it holds the charge good.

Now all I need to do is replace the cracked windshield
and put new back tires on and my B2 will be in
perfect condition
