I figured it out. looked at the condenser and the existing fittings.

The top of the condenser is a #8 fitting and the bottom is a #6 fitting. This is the same for the existing fittings that would go into the normal condenser for our trucks. My concern was, that after 40+ years, maybe the fittings were different, but they are not.

From there, I spent some time on Ebay, looking for #6 and #8 fittings, male in (to the condensor) and female out, to the lines. Everything hooked up fine.

Lowest temp at the evaporator (at 1500 rpm) was 20.8 degrees! It would jump back up to the 40s/50s at idle.
