5 years late to the party, but great video. Really helped me out.
You still made it!
Another good video by Mr. Welch.
Looks nice and easy.
Awesome video
Nice video, thank you.
Need this kit for an '81 K20 (non factory air, LWP w/power steering) - Does this kit come with alternator relocation bracket? 3 groove pulley for the crank?
Contact the shop, we have MANY configurations to make it work. 800-977-2767.
Can you kinda add the cost of the kit thanks for the video great job
Depending on the year of your truck, and the options you want from the kit itself, you're looking at anywhere from $1150-$1400 for a complete kit. You'll need to factor in the cost of the belt, refrigerant, coolant, etc... but we'd estimate no more than $1500 start to finish if you're doing the install yourself. Check out these kits and more for your Chevy or GMC truck on our website at www.brotherstrucks.com/ or call us at 800-977-2767. Thank you!
How does this differ from the Vintage Air system?
I would like to know that too, I think I'd rather roll down the window and get fresh air then cut holes in my firewall, out of all the comments they did not answer yours, I guess they're just interested in selling their product.
I guarantee mine will stay Factory.
ok, at 4:36 I heard Alvin & the Chipmunks ,You could have at least gotten them on camera, not everyone knows who & what they are.......other than that, Love your help videos !
I’ve ordered a new West Coast Engines 350 for my factory A/C ‘70 C10. The engine will be turn key with a new condenser on it. Do you sale this kit w/o the condenser?
No sir, our kits all come complete.
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV I figured, thanks!
Have you got kits for Canadian delivered trucks so right hand drive c10 pickups? (‘79 c20 right hand drive, no factory ac)
We have nothing for that specific application. You should contact Old Air or Vintage Air and see if they can help you out. Maybe they can combine some parts from their universal kits and some from the standard '79 kit to handle the right hand drive.
Do Y'all make a unit for my 1973 c-60 without Air on it? I'm putting in a New 350 sbc engine in now.
The firewall is slightly different so it would need to be adapted, but otherwise everything else should work the same as if was a C10
do you have any kits that will fit a 99 Ford F800 Truck?
No sir, we only deal with GM trucks.
My 68C20 did not come with factory air. Will I need to use another radiator or can I use my existing 3 core?
You can use the factory 3 row radiator unless you begin having cooling issues after installing the A/C, although we doubt that would happen.
I have a 1971 C10 non ac cab .Does it come with a template to make it a in dash factory ac cab style ? Thanks
The kit does NOT come with templates to do factory style vents in the dash. The vents that come with the kit hang below the dash, if you're trying to do a factory look then you'd have to order the vents separately and cut them in yourself.
The AC condenser seems kinda far off the radiator, I'm adding an AC to my 1970 and I've read that they should be 1/2 off the radiator, I'm confused now, could I mount it infront of the radiator support like you did? What's the correct distance?
The factory condenser was mounted in the exact same location as this. We're not aware of any industry standard for distance between the core and radiator. From our own experience, we've had a condenser get too hot from being right up against the radiator, and the extra heat over pressurized the AC system and caused the compressor to start leaking.
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV hmmm that's interesting, yeah I remember my Camaro also wasn't mounted too close to radiator, this was a 75 Camaro, I'm going to mount the condensor from my 1970 truck in the same location as you guys did, hopefully it works good, I'm using a dealer installed evaporator under dash unit, I still haven't crimped the hoses so maybe I should do this before I have the hoses made. 🤔🤔
@@adrianrios4949 Yeah, definitely figure out your hose routing and length before you crimp 'em
Do you have a kit for a 1964 Ford pickup F250?
We only sell Chevy & GMC parts
At 6:13 the new condenser won't fit in the same holes as the original Factory condenser?
They both fit through the same holes, no problem.
3:09 Simply? Lol
Can this be done in a 63 gmc?with a 305 v6? That has heat vents and blower from factory without air conditioning
Yes, we have kits that will work with almost everything. www.brotherstrucks.com
What about a/c system for big blocks?
Same system just different pump mounting brackets for the big blocks.
BROTHERS Truck Parts do you guys make brackets for a BBC?
They are supplied with the complete A/C conversion. You need to specify Small Block or Big Block, long or short water pump, driver's side or passenger side mounting location, and R-12 or R-134 when ordering.
Can this ac be installed in a c-10 (72) with an in-line six (250 cid)?
Yes, you would just specify that when you order so that we can include the correct brackets for the engine.
Oh wow I do also have a 68 Chevy C10 and I was wondering about that question too 😂
What kit is this ?
BROTHERS Truck Parts kit, available here: www.brotherstrucks.com/Complete-A_C-Conversions/products/1991/
What kind of compressor does this kit use. I have a Ls motor in my truck and my bracket is for a sanden 508
It uses a Sanden 508, you're all set.
BROTHERS Truck Parts thank you!
Can this system be installed in a 86 GMC C6000 that wasn't built with one?
This system can't, but there are systems available that are specific to that model.
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV Thanks for the reply. I need a system that works. The ol 366 loves heat, but I don't. The cab gets unbearably hot. A 95 degree average summer day in Florida doesn't help at all. How do I move forward with hooking up?
What about doing it in my 1939 chevrolet pickup
The kit would be different, but the process would be basically the same.
Compressor Oil ?
Yes, it was placed in as part of the startup process.
Can this be done with a 250 straight six??
Absolutely, we have compressor brackets for almost every configuration.
BROTHERS Truck Parts Are u in the los angeles area??
We are located in Corona, CA. All our info is on our website: www.brotherstrucks.com/
BROTHERS Truck Parts Thank U!!!
