Next I installed the front fender condenser. This requires removing the seatbelt bolt.
I then connected all the lines. I ended up getting a cross thread started on the rear fender condenser. I put a die on it and it got stuck. Ended up cracking the connection. It was a clean break and with the help of a local fabrication shop that deals in aluminum, I was able to get it TIG welded back for $55. This put me down for two days while I waited.
Got the rear installed for the second time and buttoned up the connections.
I have a machine shop at my disposal, so instead of plastic stone guards, I made up some from T3 Aluminum plate stock. Bolted them up and all that remains is to install the compressor, evac and charge.
Now it’s being dropped off at the mechanics tomorrow to get a new clutch. As soon as it gets back I will finish it up. While I have the down time, I ordered Retroair’s evap fan upgrade to get more air in the cab. So waiting for UPS.
Big thanks to RennAire and Griffiths.
RennAire was stand-up in getting me out a new Pro-Cooler when UPS delivered a severely beaten box. Unfortunately and fortunate at the same time, it was only the Pro-cooler that took the brunt of the hit. Everything else was intact. Within a few days a new Pro-cooler arrived! I owe you guys a beer.
