54 A/C and heater upgrade
 
I'm wanting to upgrade the A/C and heater in my 54. Does anyone have any pictures or recommendations?

I can't remember what you have in it now.

There is about three major players who make units to fit the AD trucks and one for a 54 specifically Vintage air, Old Air . Classic air and maybe one or two more.

The Old air unit https://www.oldairproducts.com/produ...123267-c173182

Classic air unit https://www.classicautoair.com/shop/...ioning-system/

I'm putting the Vintage Air in the 48, but I'm going with the Old Air for the 54.

The OA unit takes up less space under the dash.

Hope that helps.

I have a bunch of parts that don't match, vacuum vales don't work hardly at all

I'm using Rencool electric A/C compressor (Australia) with remote condenser and Old Air inside kit.
