Question Installing A/C, no Factory

I would like to install A/C on my truck, but do not want to pay someone 15-1800 to do it. Does anyone know which parts I will need to make it work and about how long it would take for me to do it? The truck is an 85 2.9L Ranger 4X4.

Thanks,
Chuck

Thats a lot of work for a 85 Ranger. If you are seriously going to do this, get a dead parts truck with ice and swap the stuff, otherwise you will spend way too much money.

Thanks

That is what I thought. I think I am going to keep the truck the way it is and buy a new truck with A/C in it. Keep the truck for fun!

100% complete AC kits and ALL NEW parts.
And if you can READ and follow step by step instructions YOU can easily install the complete AC kit that will look and perform like factory AC.

Rangers are easy to install AC on.
