I just got in from a drive in my '50 3600 daily driver, and have to say that
I've had my Vintage Air conditioner for 2 years now, and it has been great. I
recently read some negative feedback on Vintage Air, but because I had mine
installed, rather than doing my own, I didn't have to deal with the tech
support people for the installation. I can say, however, that the one time
that I did have to call, I got a quick response.
The only problem that I have ever had was with the belts. The main crankshaft
pulley was wide, and the a/c, water pump and alternator pulleys were the
newer, narrow ones. For this reason, the belt that turned the air conditioner
and alternator slipped under load. I found a guy called the Damper Doctor,
got a narrow pulley for the crankshaft, and everything is snug now, and
working fine.
Only problem with air conditioning a cool looking old truck is that when
people give the "thumbs up," I have to roll the window down to return the
greeting.
