A/C ?

I've read up on A/C and a lot of people go with vintage air, but I like the looks of this set up. Anyone have any + or - on this company? There is also a nice crew cab in the video where it is installed. I didn't think 77 crew cabs came with a 302?

That is a good kit. I am not sure what I am going to do yet. This sounds more like a bolt in kit. Where Vintage air is a universal. Don't think Crew Cabs came with 302's either.

So you think it's a good kit? And I have a 20% off coupon thing for nostalgic air so that's a plus 😄 and yea I didnt think they had 302 either but that's what the video says. And yes it's a bolt in kit and I also like how they give you factory style vents. My only question is if the truck will still have the "vent" option. Like the air that's just outside. Not heat or ac just the outside air....

That's the same one i'v got my eye and ear on to find out more. It sounds like a good unit . My main concern was will it heat as good as my old 73 heater only does. In my area we have to have a good heater and defroster if we plan to drive in the winter time. I don't want to give up a good heat system we need six months out of the year for cooling we only need a couple of months.

Don't think it will have defrost. I do know vintage air has defrost.

I've gotten things from them a few times and I've been very happy. I even had to exchange one fitting because the threads were messed up and it wouldn't screw together. They were very nice and sent me a new fitting and I didn't even have to return the messed up one. They have always been very nice when I've called them, maybe they were just having a bad day?

Hmm yea maybe a bad day. Now as you others have said, is the heat as good as the factory? In San Diego it's ac we need haha. But I'd like a nice heater and defrost as well. Jsutton do you have one of these installed? I can't find anyone who has either of these....
