AC compressor on a 72 k10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The AC compressor appears to have failed, squealing when ever turned on. I have checked and tightened, replaced and retightened the belt too many times for that to be the issue.
My question is what are my options to get the AC working again here in Arizona?
I know ZERO about AC systems. Trying to find a similar compressor as shown is another issue but is this type capable of running R132. I was told by the previous own it is running R12.
Its been over 100 degrees here everyday so driving the truck is not an option until I get this fixed.
