Adding A/C

My truck was originally sold in Michigan, where there isn't too much of a call for a/c, so I don't have it. But living only a few hours from Death Valley, I have realized the need for a/c. The guy who sold it to me said the dealer quoted him $1200 to install a complete a/c system. That seems a bit cheap to me. Has anyone ever done this before, and does the price sound correct?

I dont know how ambitious you are but you might check out www.bought4less.com They have aftermarket add-on A/C units for less than $800.

Thanks! You say if I'm ambitious? You make it sound like you've done this before. If you did, how does it look/work?

Just wondering if anyone has gone to a "pick your part" yard and got one off a similar truck? If you have, is it a real job getting it out and installing it? How much did you pay at the yard? Is the wiring easily adaptible to a non A/C car?
