Aftermarket Air.
Aftermarket Air.
I have a 1970 D100 with a 440 and want air! Anybody find a kit that might work? ... Thanks, Eric.

The "earlier" Dodge trucks had an underdash air conditioning unit, see photo of one in a 1968 brochure. (not sure about 69-71 models)

Classic auto air makes a under dash unit that is a stand alone system. Or swap the dash out of an original a/c truck!

Re: Aftermarket Air.
The problem with using an original system is the R12 freon. Sure... you can probably convert to the R134... but those are smaller freon "molecules" and will escape through a smaller "leak" that R12 would not be able to weep out of. Also, most likely all the components would have moisture or rust/debris in them. I say... if you (or anyone) is going through that much effort, put a new system in.
