Thinking about cobbling up a/c
Posted: July 13, 2007, 11:49 am
This may have been covered elsewhere, but I'll ask anyway.
I have been debating about putting an under dash a/c on my 66. Not wanting to cut up the dash or ditch the factory heater. Based on the online measurements I found (approx. 14" deep, 16" wide, 6" tall +/-), the vintage Mark IV looks like it would hit the bottom of the heater & blower, unless I have it sticking out several inches past the dash. I'd like to keep 3 across seating.
thought I read on here someone put a mustang or maybe it was the Rotunda type of under dash a/c on their truck. If anyone here has used one of these setups, wondering how it went. Money, headaches, modifications to the truck, a/c set up, etc.
I realize there would be the addition expense of getting hoses, compressor, pulleys, brackets, and so on but the "typical new under dash units don't look like the will fit they very well. Photos would be great.
