1973 – 1979 Ford truck A/C system and 1978 – 1979 Bronco. This A/C system is designed to fit into the truck without altering the stock heater box, or glove box. The evaporator unit sits above the heater box with the hoses exiting out the firewall where the factory designed them to exit. The vents have to be cut into the dash, just as the original Ford truck was designed. The A/C controls are two rotary knobs that can be mounted under the dash in the pod included, or in the dash. This kit will give the truck the original look of factory A/C, and it will cool the inside of the cab without any problem.
The kit is complete and includes the following:
- Evaporator kit with expansion valve and mounting hardware, grommets.
- Duct hose and vents
- R-134a Hose kit (See hose kits Page for contents)
- Black O-ring drier with drier straps
- 14 x 24 Condenser with condenser mount kit
- Sanden Style A/C compressor with clutch
- Compressor mount kit (to fit your Ford engine)
- HI / Lo binary pressure switch
- Directions
If you prefer a different size condenser please specify the size in the checkout section. The unit cannot use the original control panel because it has a separate blower motor for the evaporator. If you are interested in a system that can use the factory controls please see our complete indash kit: CK-7379-2FD. The evaporator unit is manufactured in the USA, by Nostalgic AC in Ocala Florida.
All of our complete kits come with everything needed to install Air Conditioning in your vehicle except for Pulleys (sold separately). All kits will require a 3 Groove Crank Pulley (If using V-Belts). For Chevy Small Block and Big Block Engines, you will also need a 2 Groove Water Pump Pulley (If using V-Belts).
*Parts pictured above may vary.
