I have seen several different A/C systems for my truck but I have no idea how each one performs. Has anyone used a classic auto air unit, if so how does it perform? Any suggestions on a good a/c system would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

The installation was flimsy & I had to improvise to get it more stable. One of the control switches broke before I was done with it. They sent me a new one but it set the project back a few days.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

Installation wasen't to bad. Works good until it gets near 100 then it seams to fall off a bit. It also has defrost and heat. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 324 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 324 | | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 15 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 15 | I put in a Hot Rod Air unit in first, man I hated that thing, tech support sucked, they said it worked in my truck but didn't, parts missing, took 6 weeks to get my controller back from them upgrading it, and it still wasn't right then had to send it back, they wouldn't call me back, oh yea and the unit sucked too.
I then went with an Old Air system it works great, I agree with 235, it starts to loose something around 100. but that's Texas for you. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 117 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 117 | I want to put a/c in my truck a '56 chevy but I want a good system too. The only one that seems to make the cut is the Old Air system according to these posts. Has anyone else had good luck with Old Air stuff? Would anyone reccomend it or any other brand? | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 1,159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 1,159 | Bowtie Max put an Old Air Products a/c in his '55. He wrote a tech tip on it for us. His closing remarks were "Before closing I would like to say how nice the people at Old Air Products are to work with. Their tech staff will give you all the assistance you need in solving a problem. I am very pleased with the performance of this unit both in town and on the road. Comments about this project are welcome, good or bad." Feel free to do a Google search from the menu, too - "air conditioning" - there are a lot of folks who have a/c in their Bolt. Some of the names may be familar and you can contact them directly (if there's not much response to this thread). Peg
