"Bristol" is an old British sailing term, which describes pristine sailing vessels, and trucks likes Gavin's, Randles, and our young prince Trozie's... I struggle for that level of perfection, but I have plenty of room for improvement.

As to the R-12 A/C, I am way happy with mine, and plan on lots of use this summer in Baja.

Brian - A nap pad.....I might have to try that.

Pat - I hope it works.

Russ - Thanks for the kind words!


I didn't get much done on the truck this week.

I did get some parts.





Some assembly required.

The AC bracket needs a little more tweaking then I can mock it up.











I hope to get the parts water jetted next week.

Over the top high tech, on the A/C brackets... good job, and I am all about the stainless steel exhaust, very good choice amigo. I now feel like I am back close to the stone age with my 'shade tree' bracket, and Fred Flintstone engineering. I have to wear a bib, just to keep the drool off my shirt, when looking at your photos... My wife says "Thanks Gavin for the extra laundry"...

Man, I can't wait to see that bad boy painted and mounted. Don't lose the program Gavin. You may be making more of them in the future.

Sorry for getting you in trouble with the wifey.

Thanks Darren. I was a little motivated after talking to one of the guys at Classic Auto Air. I told him I was going to make my own brackets....he kinda laughed at that.

Thanks guys!

After I did the mock up the it looked like the bracket was a little too close to the filler neck on the PS pump. I moved the whole unit up and toward the engine.


I sent the prints to the machine shop today so I should get the parts by Friday.
