Dk46 Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 The only mfr. I know of for clips like that is Au-Ve-Co. But most of what I've found that they make is metal, or interior-colored plastic. Updates.... Got alot done and still have a ways to go. I have a question and thought i would post some before and after photos. The question is on a a/c hoses. I cant find part numbers or pictures anywhere. There weren't none on here when i got it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is on a a/c hoses. I cant find part numbers or pictures anywhere. There weren't none on here when i got it. Thanks You are making progress! And, as Jim/ArdWrknTrk says, progress is good. The info we have on A/C systems is in Documentation/HVAC/HVAC systems. But, it doesn't look like there are part numbers. Sorry. Your best bet is to find a truck in a salvage with the whole system. In fact, you can pull the whole underhood system intact w/o breaking any connections. So if you find one that appears to still be charged you can bolt the whole thing in your truck. That would be far better than trying to build it a piece at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Sorry about the upside down pic. Dont know how that happened This forum, like many forums, is not smart enough to read the orientation info in the metadata on a pic. So any pic taken with any rotation will need to be opened and saved by an app. Usually the app will auto-rotate it and when you save it'll be oriented correctly. Usually.

On the AC system as Gary said if you can find a complete system remove it as a whole. Now where this becomes an issue is if the motors are the same, v8 for a v8 or six for a six, then you have a switch of compressor types in the later years. My truck that had the AC system I did not have the motor (300 / six) brackets for the compressor, York for my 81. Also the motor in my project truck was using the van P/S pump so I needed motor brackets to fit that pump setup. Thing is that setup does not use the York compressor, it uses a Sanden compressor that is the better of the 2 types. That brings up other issues as the hoses are a little different for 1, dryer for 2. Once I get the compressor with the adaptors (manifolds) for the hoses I think I may make up my own hoses. I think with a v8 you will have better luck finding what you need in a JY. If you need hoses have you checked with Rock Auto I know they listed them for my 81 F100 think Auto Zone also but RA was cheaper. Dave ---- edit: truck is looking good. I had an issue with 1 of my pictures, it was on my site and never had issues before so I left it sideways LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
