I don't want to drill through the hood.
This accomplishes the same result without having to do that. I'm the only one crawling under to open the hood, which I don't mind doing

Went for a drive today , so smooth. Finally, not sweating my butt off cruising it around town.

Was it cool from ac or is the weather better? Down right cold in Apple Valley to me.
Weather, AC is on hold while I use funds elsewhere for now. Winter is coming anyway. Probably around March I'll try to get the AC done
Ok, dropping the truck off to have AC installed october 21st. Hopefully, all the original stuff still works. I don't want to "upgrade" to any aftermarket systems.
Should be done before Dino's get down on the west side of town.
Fingers crossed.

I need to do this. No A/C after sweating all day gets old.
Where are you taking it to get installed? I'm hoping next year I'll have ac!
Vintage motors AZ. They did the wiring harness as well. They do good work and the owner, Mike is a nice guy. They're in Mesa, the trek is probably worth it.

I drove it a handful of times maybe more this summer and it was pretty miserable. Just sweaty and not fun at all. Hopefully the stock stuff still works when all hooked back up.
After what seemed like forever, 2.5 months to be exact, the AC /heat is installed and works well.

Keep your eyes out for the clamp that should go here. It supports the weight of the accumulator.
I found this but it seems to be for far later models

yes thats what it looks like. I am not sure the accumulator is in the factory position. The hose connection are probably not in the original orientations.
you may need to go to the wreaking yard and nab a few different ones and modify them. Mine is missing, and had a buddy nab one from the pick and pull, didn't fit, think it was off a mid 80's.
Also take a look at the pipes going through the core support, while engine is idling. see how much they move. may need some rubber there if rubbing.
Looks good will be supper nice this summer.

That says drier, you have an accumulator, they are different. Many people will use the terms wrong.
I noticed that, but I haven't found an accumulator bracket only dryer
that may be be cause not many 67-72 had factory a/c. most were dealer add on's
These trucks originally has a dryer by the condenser and a POA valve at the evaporator.
Looks like a nice update, just need to figure out a new support for the accumulator.

I was browsing and maybe I could mock something up with this stuff? Leave a bit out front to attach the bracket?
Or something similar with this if those brackets from the above companies don't work out

Yes I see that it is a POA valve evap, the small 3rd aluminum line is for the POA valve.
Must have a orifice tube conversion
