They don't make a specific unit for our trucks but you can adapt a few of theirs to ours. I have the GenII Mini (not installed yet) and it will fit nicely under the dash with 2 defrosters and 3 vents - heat/air.

Try Classic auto air. They have a system for slicks.

I have the classic air in my 65 crew cab. The direct fit was a truly a direct fit. I had the system installed in less than an hour. Still have yet to feel cold air out of it (not got compressor connected). The heater works great and strong blower motor in it. Tested heater on 38 degree day with out glass in truck. It keep Brian T warm (we were flushing the radiator system).

Chad (blueghost) has this unit in his truck and running good.

Old Air (which I believe is a division of Classic Air) has an early Mustang style (under dash) which is a few hundred dollars cheaper than the Classic Air units. http://www.oldairproducts.com/catalog/1 ... 32024.html
complete unit, cool only $885. They only show it for the 65-66's but the only difference, it'm thinking, should be the compressor brackets (FE vs Y-Block).
FWIW: I have one of the Classic Air units I plan to install in my 63 Long Uni, but I'm seriously considering the Old Air units for Little Red and Big Un.

Buy the Classic air specific to our trucks.
I have had the Vintage air for a year and a half and it is so overwhelming I don't know where to begin.
And so my truck sits with the front clip off and I am totally stalled.
You have to make brackets and figure out where to route things and guess where to drill holes in your firewall and dash and hope you are right.

..buy the Classic air.
Or, I will sell you my Vintage Air stuff and I'll buy the Classic air.

Sorry, I meant Vintage Air didn't have a specific unit for our trucks.

I knew Classic Air made one for ours and read up on everything but I just didn't care for their control panel and having to mount the knobs and vent unit right under the dash the way they have theirs.

Would've messed up my center console idea.
