     Tom,

     I am planning to be in Tualre, and I have a complete A/C set from a Scout 
II.  I bought a whole truck from a guy and been parting it out for the last 
three years.  I have the distribution box, dash vents with knobs, hoses, 
compressor, squirrel cage with condensor, evaporator, filter/drier, etc, etc.  I
was going to try to sell it in Tulare, but I'll let you be first to look.  Let 
me know if you're interested.  I'll let it go for next to nothing too.  Maybe 
$100 for everything? Is that too high?  Let me know.

O.K. Digesters;

I have a question.

My '76 Terra was originally equipped with the factory air. The owner I
purchased it from, had taken out the under dash unit, the A/C hoses and
the compressor and thrown them out when the unit failed. I still have
the compressor bracket and the firewall holes (since covered in rubber)
for the lines.

Now, I know everyones been following Tom and his conversion to an air
compressor, ignoring the benefits of an A/C unit. But, Tom lives in
Montana and I live in California. From June through mid-October where I
live, most tempertures are 90 are better and there are a fair number of
100 plus degree days. So, I'd like to get an A/C.

What experiences do digesters have with this? Should I look for one from
an IH light truck line product? With the Freon 12 issue, perhaps an
aftermarket R-134 would be the better choice? Could I even find a
potentially functional IH unit?

Thoughts please,

Tom Harais
