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.

Red is 12v positive Black is ground White is to light (if you want) Green is to negative side of the coil

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.

Here's mine. It's about to change though because I'm putting the A/C back in soon.

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.

His truck is body dropped not sectioned.

Any updates on the compressor changes?

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...

One tip, when you're riding around with it 103 and the windows down DON'T REST YOUR ARM ON THE TOP OF THE DOOR OUT THE WINDOW!!(ask me how I know) Make sure you use the arm rest!! LOLRight now here it is 96^ heat index makes it feel like 103^ and the Humidity is 45%.Getting back on topic...

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...

Mine on my Factory set up does too, but I figured that part would be gone when the york compressor wasn't there anymore. Since it bolts to the compressor and then to the water pump...

I was looking around and I saw a kit like that but the bracket was different. The one I was looking at had a set of elongated holes to pull tension on the belt the way the alternator brackets do...

My second grade teacher had one of those vans that was painted like the pinto in the first video. Silver with the orange, yellow and purple colored stripes. I remember it had shag carpet through out the whole thing. She took us on a field trip to her house to see her horses in it. I loved it, I...

I got a fan shroud for my truck from an 80's model van in the junk yard.

That's a good idea! My door gaskets are nearly flat!

I think I'm going to order the 50^ of Fatmat for my truck. It's a little cheaper. Do you have any experience with the Fatmat?

Alvin you left out that it was "downhill both ways"! My dad used to say that jokingly all the time.

It looks like it has an in cab gas tank, and one under the front of the bed and then it looks like a spot for a third one in the back of the bed? Like where the door is on my 77. Is that right?

I was using an open end wrench (like the one someone posted in another thread about finding in the tail light). It's all I had to fit it at the time. It didn't feel like it was tightening so I kept turning! The carb didn't run right anyway, then the used carb I bought to rebuild was messed up...

X2 I did that one time too!

I'm not sure about the threads on the 2150 but I got a barbed fitting from autozone for my Holley carb. I tried the hardware store but they told me the threads were weird and I needed to go to an auto place. I have the clear filter on mine too.
