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?

Re: 54 A/C and heater upgrade

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

Vintage air https://www.vintageair.com/surefit/c...54&model=Truck

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