I have a factory AC set-up with dash controls. Pretty much everything needed inside the cab. It needs to be rebuilt/restored but they work great. I restored and installed one in my 1969. Price is $350 plus shipping.

Swap meet. I bought three, rebuilt one and installed in my 69, sold one, and have this one left.

My buddy is looking to get a kit from them for his incoming '69 project. We'll address the rusts first before we can work on the cosmetics and AC. The new set of tires 4Wheelonline will arrive soon. Will appreciate any tips on the AC kit you get.

I installed the Vintage Air unit in a 71 F100/FE390. Works great but the fan is noisy. Not difficult to install but it does take quite a while. If you are still working on the truck, then it maybe easier. You have to remove the glove box, front grill, etc.

We'll check that out as well. Thanks

im a little late to the post. put in a classic auto air perfect fit system on a 67 . kit only works for the 68 to 72 because of the pull knob controls on the 67 only... but i made it work by using the choke pull knob for my on / off and retrofitting the calssic air system to run of my supplied fan controller knob..(had to do a bit of machining on the bezel) and re working the controls for hot / cold pull knob. came out great. would be very simple if i had the slide controls of the 68 to 72. blows ice cold and is worth every penny on a hot day. if any 67 guys are on the side lines thinking of it , it really wasnt that hard to do to retain original lookin contols....but only if you dont need the choke cable . i didnt as i went to a efi system.
