Title: AC removal question
Post by: baddogg79 on October 12, 2008, 07:21:11 pm
On my 73, it came with factory AC. Im not going to use it, so its long gone. Now that Im in the reassembly phase, I want to put all the right non-ac parts in the cab ( fresh air vents, controls, etc) My question is, for the controls, do I need to get all the rods and levers from a non-ac truck? Or I can just get the controls and use the rest of the existing pieces?  I know I need the controls itself.  The vents are pretty much straight forward. I hope this makes some sense ??? :P

Just leave everything in tact. Remove tha AC components in the engine compartment. You can also put in one of these http://www.acdelete.com/pages/73-90_Truck.htm

I actually pulled the harness back through the firewall and hid it all under the dash. I cut a precision hole also in the inner evaporator case for the blower motor resistor so that was hidden too.

Don't worry, I'm in the same boat as you. I'm removing all of the ac components and going with just a heater/defrost system.......but I just can't justify spending $170 for a cover alone.  I'll eventually find an ac delete truck locally to pull the cover from.

I lucked out and have two cabs w/ the factory delete. That is about the only thing left on them that is good though
