I have a 64 C10 with the factory AC system. The original compressor is long gone. The system is charged with R134a gas and it works fine for what is it is.

It's never going to be as efficient as a modern set up but it's enough to be comfortable driving the truck on a hot day. I purchased my truck from Mesa AZ and now have it here in Melbourne Australia.

If my truck never had AC fitted then I wouldn't hesitate to throw in a Vintage air system. But if you have all the factory stuff sitting there it seems a real shame not to try and get it in and running with the original gear. It surely must add more value to the truck having the original AC fitted.
