What is the general consensus in regards to the best system and/or company to use for a complete AC/Heat system add on for my '69 F-100? Thank you!

 

 

Do you want a modern, efficient heat and a/c combo? Or do you want a 45 year old hang on unit that takes up lots of space, and is designed for now scarce refrigerant?
Classic Auto Air has a direct fit unit thats supposed to be nice. I think thats what I'm going with.

 

 

Compressor, evaporator, and condenser. The only parts that affect the refrigerant cycle that produces cooling.
The compressor is that only change in 45 years and one can get a unit that is adapted for R-12 use for a couple of hundred.
So for the $1500 cost of the Classic Air system one can buy everything one needs for the factory unit plus the modern compressor and R-12@30/# and keep $1000+ in the wallet.
One of my trucks has the factory A/C and the other two have dealer option A/C and they all can freeze the cab out for *less* than the cost of one of the Classic Air units.
Just another option for those on more limited budgets.

 

I really want the best fit and best unit there is out there. My new arrival never had one and its now a California truck. Thanks guys! All the advice is welcome and appreciated!

 

I guess my big question to the group is....is Classic Auto Air the best system out there? Thank you!
