I did that on my 37.....see pictures on my site shown below.

Probably cheaper than you can fabricate something yourself. http://www.patricksantiquecars.com/ | | | | | Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 121 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 121 | All I can find when I look at their website is engine rebuild parts.

It is custom made to fit the contour of the dash and looks nice. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 | I'm STILL in the middle of the install, vint air in my 46, if I just had six months off WITH PAY! If you have a 47 or later it's a piece of cake, buy the 'KIT' for your year. If there is no kit you'll have to make everything to fit.
We put the compressor where the generator goes on a 235, made a custom bracket just above that for a mini alt (per 6cylsovrTX)similar to Patricks brackets but the alt. is lower.
If you really shop around you may be able to save a few bucks but life is to short so go with a real company that can help you if need be.

There is a guy in Anniston, Alabama that makes, sells, and installs all kinds of A/C units for the old trucks and cars. I talked with him earlier this year and hope to take the 64' down to him later this summer after we've finished harvest and have him do his magic. Under a grand for it, installed Said it would take him a couple of days at his shop, and I'll just go over to Atlanta and visit my brother for a few days. I think it's called 3G. I'll look around some more today. | | |
