1966 F100 Build-PROJECT DISRUPTIVE

 Vintage Air Installation Part 2 Click here for part 1 I am moving forward with the Vintage Air install. Primarily getting the heat to work since it is January and it would be great to get this truck on the road in 2021 .  It has been a long time since buying this in November 20, 2013.

The pump I used was one from a 1987 Chevrolet R10 (c10) Pickup This one I purchased from OReilly. This has the press fit pulley and a metric "o" ring style port.
