Longbed with wood flooring
Is it a longhorn? Longhorns had an extra 6" added to the bed near the cab. Back in the day, people would have a gastank made to go there and then use a regular camper. I had a '69- rt66paul

Has Anyone Bought This A/C Compressor?
The worst thing you can do to aan AC system is not run it. You should run it, even in the winter for 10 min a month or so. Here ib Ca, where you might run it 5 days a week in the winter, the compressor will rarely seize, you might get a leak or other problem, but not that. -
