Who needed these parts from my truck? Also a belt question...

A while back I talked to someone through e-mail about getting some parts for them off of the HVAC system I'm gutting from the k10... I'm looking through my old e-mails but I can't remember who it was...

They needed a flapper door/arm that moves it or something like that... here's a video of the two I've narrowed it down to so if you still need it let me know and let me know which part it is...



On a side note I want to yank off the compressor but it has a belt that goes around the outside pulley on the power steering pump... is it just using that as an idler or does the power steering pump need two belts on it?

So it's basically just using the outside pulley on the power steering pump as an idler to get the belt out of the way and back to the main pulley?
 
Yup

Yeppers as far as i recall
I think you could put a matching belt to the rear if you like but v belts robb lots of power
 
Ok, once I get back home in a bit I'll yank her off... anyone need an AC compressor?
 
leave it

leave it and plumb it for on board air:D
usually they use yorks but i dont see why that one wont pump air into a storage tank.

It will briefly, and then it will get very very hot and lock up, or explode.

Ask me how I know :D

Seriously, Yorks are unusual in that they're internally lubricated; most AC compressors use the refrigerant for lubrication -- since it's a closed system it works out. If you open them to air, you gotta add oil going in and filter it going out. Which is more work, more parts, more plumbing, so we use Yorks ;)

What's this?

I yanked it off of my dad's 390 the other day and haven't had time to do much research on it...

I should know that but it slipped my pea brain :doah:
 
yorks are the way to go, ive used them for years on lowrider air bag trucks, and i know they been used for manyyyy years on off road trucks as on demand air. that is definately the way to go. 100%. just my 3 cents worth for what it is.

The other ac pump will work fine, just use an inline oiler on the inlet, then and extractor on the outlet. Lots of guys use them, and its nice that its already hooked up:wink1:

Then again you have a york, but brackets would have to be fabbed.
 
some brackets and be had at airbagit.com just check online they make alot of brackets for a lot of different vehicles. just my opinon, 79 fords had them full size wagoneers and cherokees had them also. or they are decently cheap at advance or auto zone.

AVS is local for me and I bet if airbagit has brackets they would too but it's not a big deal to bend one up at the shop so if I decide to go the york route (and dad lets me have it :)) I'll make one.

Yeah, I made mine from looking at his pictures, not realizing I could just have bought a set :doah:But dammit, that's why I have a welder! :haha:

Yorks mount on a flat surface, either vertical or horizontal, so they're easy to do brackets for.
