The parts were from both a C65 and 70's pickup. The evaporator and heater core are all the same. The parts that are unique to the 2 ton are the vent distribution in the dash and the mode selector control (no bi-level mode on the truck). I believe that a pickup unit would work, you would just have to use hose instead of the molded plastic parts to distribute the air to the drivers side of the dash. I am not totally sure as I was able to rob those parts from the C65. I know the heater floor distribution is different. I reinstalled my original heater floor distribution unit and it mated up with the pickup evaporator housing. The pickup condenser is very similar and can be made to work. The lines on it are aluminum where the C65 used steel. Hope this helps.
