air conditioning components swap?
My cab is a 79 ranger lariat from an F-150. Has factory a/c.
I need everything to get it back running.
I just found a very nice 86 F-250 at the junk yard with everything intact. I am stealing the large rad. Will any of the a/c components work with my 79? The condensor is in really nice shape.
They were both 460 trucks. Thanks.

If the system was currently fully operational from the 86 then doing the leg work might be worth it. But if it is just a worn out system that hasn't been run it years, you're better off looking elsewhere. A new (clean) condenser is around $80 if I recall. I don't think you can get the hoses or evaporator new, but everything else can be had new and you could swap to a newer Sanden compressor that will work way better. Another option is to buy a complete under dash unit that has everything for around $400-500 off Ebay. You just need to vacuum and charge it.
