i know this is a long shot but i had a 72 f100 that had a/c and i took the a/c unit out and alll the components. can i use this a/c unit in a 70 f100 shortbed that didnt have factory a/c or a/c at all for that matter. iknow i need extra wiring but can it be used? any input would be helpful thanks

Sure, you can use it. Just be sure to use the dash controls for the AC unit, it's different than the 70's unit will be. You will need to drill firewall holes for the hoses, too. And you will need to use a glovebox liner for a factory AC truck, the non AC trucks had a different glovebox liner. That's not a big deal, though. Most vendors sell those liners.

I'm adding a factory A/C unit to my '67, and of course the cab isn't drilled for it since integral A/C wasn't available until '68. Read more here:
