53 f100 a/c swap
Needing some info, please!!
I am trying to fit a Vintage Air in my 1953 F100. I am swapping the frame and motor with a 2003 Crown Vic 4.6 liter police interceptor. I am having trouble with this part of the swap. Does anyone have any info. Vintage Air said they did not make connectors for this swap. Thanks

I did an engine swap in a non Ford truck and just used the fittings that were on the swap engine compressor.
I cut the outer crimp sleeves off the compressor fittings and pulled the hoses off. Then mocked up the new hoses between the original system fittings and new compressor fittings, and had a local A/C place crimp the hoses. Make sure you mark the orientation if the fittings are not straight.

Thank, will go ahead and purchase the vintage air evaporate kit and try working it together. I will post some pictures of the core support I built. Just used some 2" square tubing and built it around the CV radiator. Then attached the 53 upper support to it. Came out very strong, even though I have not fully welded it yet. Pictures to come
