A/C - Air Conditioning - Compressor - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BruthaMan · 10-05-2009, 04:54 PM

Guys, we're getting close to finishing up Project Pancho Villa. I've ordered the last of the big parts, aluminum radiator, flex-a-lite fans, rear bumper, some new A/C components.

Here's where I can use some experienced advice. I've been reading through the forum this afternoon on A/C systems. Have seen some mentions of Sanden compressors.

Is there anything that is r134a compatible for our trucks and can use the stock ac lines? I have an NOS ac line set I picked up a few months ago.

When I look at the sanden 508 units on Ebay, it looks like in order to use, I'd need new custom hoses and unknown brackets.

Ideally, I'd like to find something chrome, something that can use the stock ac hoses, r134a and something I can get a decent billet bracket set for. Any advice?

Sanden just came out with a bolt in replacement for the Harrison A6 "log" style compressor. Basically a Sanden 508 in a case that will fit in the Harrison brackets and use the stock lines.

EDIT: I couldn't remember the name earlier, but I just remembered...it's called the Pro6Ten.

Thanks, just ordered one, polished.

Anyone know a source for a set of chrome or polished a6 brackets?
