Re: 1979 Chevrolet C70 Conversion to OEM Air Conditioning

Driving the truck home after purchase. This truck was last registered in 1989. The driver is Noah Jones, my son. We found the truck on Craigslist, was a non operating unit. Drove 850 miles one way to purchase it. With about six hours of work (brakes, lights and fluids) we were able to air up the tires and drive it back to Texas. Only problem we encountered in the 850 mile trip was a headlight failed. Stopped at O'Reilly and purchased a new sealed beam and we were back in business. We did not expect the tires to make the trip, we could not find a set of 9.00 X 20 in stock along our route. These tires are getting hard to acquire. The truck did not come with Air Conditioning. In Texas A/C is a must. I plan to document the conversion to OEM style A/C in this thread. Hopefully this will be of assistance to others who might want to do the same.
