J.C. Penney air conditioner

Post by dtcohen »

So I took a chance on this under dash ac unit. It is definitely for a bumpside, but that is about all I know about it. Would this have been a dealer installed kit? I didn’t get the compressor or the evaporator coil, but I would like to get this thing running in my truck.

I guess I need a compressor, an evaporator, a pressure switch and an accumulator?

Yep, dealer installed unit. Looks like the one in the Figure 17 photo. http://www.fordification.com/tech/factory-AC.htm You'll also need some mounting brackets that match your engine. These guys can supply everything you need. https://www.oldairproducts.com

Interested in this thread; sounds like a cool project. Looks like maybe it was installed in a Ranger XLT judging by the wood grain vinyl on the panel?

It is going to be a while before I get around to installing this. I am tearing the truck down to replace cab mounts right now.
