Back in the day a lot of guys loaded them up with speaker boxes too. Awesome place to put 4, 12" subwoofers in a regular cab truck!!I'd put one on my truck if I could find a solid fiberglass one at a decent price.

Not trying to hi-jack the thread, but what about cork with compressions stops? The other day I drove to haul trash to the dump and when I got out there was smoke coming from my wheel well and from the front of the grill. I opened the hood and could see oil dripping right from under the valve...
If the systems been updated that is probably a high/low presssure switch to cut off the system if there is a pressure problem. Not sure exactly how it should tie into the clutch wire, but you could probably contact Jon at Nostalgicairparts.com.
I run 295/50/15's on my truck with 15X10 rims with 4" of backspacing. They stick out past the edge of the truck so if you are gonna go with a 10" wide rim then it would have to have probably at least 6" backspacing. I like mine sticking out though.
No useful help here, but...I have a Vacuum gauge hooked up in my truck, I call it my MPG meter! LOL because when I get on it, it drops to about 5-7 and if I'm nice to it while I'm cruising it's around 15-17. Which I don't get that good of mileage (usually 14-12) but, my fuel economy is a...
I haven't read all of the replies on here so someone may have already suggested it, but you may can check for a fan shroud on 80's vans. That's what I got mine off of.Also drilling a small hole in the thermostat to let the air out I've found is a cool trick. That way no air gets trapped...

It should say on the hoses. I know it's written on mine, the hoses are #12 5/8" coming from the evaporator to the compressor and #8 13/32" leaving the compressor on the high side. In searching for hoses and fittings, I'm sure yours fittings are #8 and #10.I can make out from your pic that the...
Thanks, I'll be ordering me some of those. I bookmarked the page.Texas: I already took the compressor off and bracket when I redid the engine. I just have big nut and two washers as spacers between the power steering pump and the head. But leaving it as a step is a good idea.
Okay, I see now. You have a totally different bracket that the compressor sits on than I do. I have a big heavy cast iron one (at least that's what it feels like).Before I go this route with the conversion to the sanden I'm going to try my old compressor.Where did you get those R134a...
