A/C Question
My truck came with what I think to be a dealer installed A/C unit. The unit is made by FrigiKing and its an under dash unit. It still works, but needs some restoration. Does anyone know anything about these units or a company where I can get parts etc.?

I doubt a dealer would install this unit for two reasons.
1) Sears didn't sell parts to dealers at a discount, so the dealer would have to pay the same price as anyone else.
2) There was no way to warranty it.
Ford offered several different Ford dealer installed "hang-on" A/C units.
The cheapie version's bezel had a painted white plastic case, 4 registers around 4" in diameter. This unit was marked Polar-Aire.
The others were very similar to what Ford factory or dealer installed in 1963/65 Falcons, Fairlanes and 1965/66 Mustangs.
One unit had Rotunda marked on it, the others have a Ford crest in the center (it's the Ford coat of arms-not the blue oval).
The bezel has four round registers around 3" in diameter. The registers used with the Rotunda A/C are not the same as the Falcon/Fairlane/Mustang units.
What I would suggest is to get a complete dash bezel and related parts from a Mustang/Falcon/Fairlane, there are lots of these around.
Parts can be found for these units...there really isn't much that goes wrong, except with the two switches, one turns the unit on, the other is the blower switch.
