Default Re: New air conditioning bracket

my truck has bigger tires, making it extremely hard to steer. a buddy of mine has a panel truck with manual steering, it is way easier to steer than mine. the panel has stock size tires, and a small block, not a heavy v-6. i'll be keeping my power steering. i have 3 other older cars with manual steering, they are manageable, but the truck needs power steering.

Up to you, but it's a great way to build up your biceps.....with the A/C on.

You wouldn't have to get rid of it you would just have to re-locate it. That is why I am doing this bracket and it will move it to the bottom of the motor. I will post photos tomorrow. John

That's what I made it for. I am a Vintage Air dealer and that's what comes with the kit. John

Sounds good, keeping the P/S will be nice, but like said....I'd sacrifice for A/C any day. haha Mainly because this truck is my daily driver and work truck. And the summers here are always in the 90's and over 100. At 5:30 PM after a long day of work on a 105 degree day...the A/C sounds more relaxing than P/S. But that's my opinion. And I have 32 inch nexen 10 plys on mine. I'm just glad your taking the time to fab an a/c bracket!

Here is the mock up photo, I just have to make one more support and it will be ready to go to the laser cutter. By the way it does not come with the white wire. Any feedback would be appreciated and no offence taken. John
