I need a complete A/C system... I went to honest charlys and they have a "complete system including compressor" for $430, but when I called them today they told me it didnt have a compressor, and was just hoses and crap... what a jip/false advertisment.

anybody know of a place I can get a full system for less than $500? these 110 degree days in oklahoma are killing me.

Thanks, Cody. On Fire

Try a local wrecking yard, any G-Body AC will be close but $500 budget is a little low, a 20 year+ system will probably need repairs. Fitting the AC specific interior HVAC (underdash stuff) will not be an easy job.

Is your truck non-factory A/C? or is it just broke? Curious why you need the "hole" A/C system.
