I am not much of an a/c mechanic -

that said -

I purchased a 3/4 ton GMC at city auction two years ago, did not have a/c -
I am a large fellow, live just outside Memphis, Tn, this is work truck so I
spend time in it each day I took to a local a/c shop and asked about
installing a/c -- was told I could get same as truck had in it when new,
same controls everything, came as a kit from GM - in March when I had it
put in I regretted the money I had spent - in August it was worth every
penny.

My thought is that perhaps a/c unit from one of the imitation Humvee's that
GM makes might fit a real one

I'd think a custom unit that looks more military would be better.

I'm thinking about this for my 5 Ton but it's=20
going to be a longer wait and probably a spring=20
of next year project.

Buy a compressor, fit it to the belt/mountings as=20
traditional. Find a correct size AC coil and fit=20
it either in the engine compartment or down low=20
under the vehicle in a protected place with it's=20
own electric fan. Find a compact multi layer heat=20
exchanger that can fit inside one of the Heater=20
blower packages or make up a double size heater=20
blower package that will allow the inclusion of a=20
flap for selecting heat or AC for the flow path=20
of the air. Add an additional switch for the AC=20
compressor's clutch and a push/pull handle for=20
the blower package's flap.

That would work well I think, and look bloody stock.

I am trying the samething, but trying to get a 24Volt
DC one they use in the RV and Trucking world and mount
it in the bulk head divider then run the 2 leeds to
the battery. looks like a small window a/c and will
blow forward and is removable.

One place I have been looking for info:

Also check out Red Dot. They have a number of different ways to skin
the cat with back wall, under dash, roof and bulkhead mounted units,
and they can be split up with compressors and other bits in different
areas.

These folks have some interesting components that might allow some
neat modifications.
