    I am finally getting around to charging the ac on my 79 c10. I put the 79 ac to the 84 cab and all that, it blows. I just need to wire the compressor back up. But I need to ask, how much to put in? Do I need any oil? I was going to dump out and replace the oil in the compressor. Its a thin one...

    Ac unit 84 cab.

    Keeping this short. I need some sort of new "factory" ac replacement for my 84 c10 cab. Ac is different than on the 79. Unless I can make the 79 ac fit? I also don't need a compressor. I want to get vintage air which is 1800$. But I am getting a no. I don't mind being told it would be more...

    700r4 leak

    I have this leak that I think started after I took the cab off. But I belive it might have been going since before. But it's been getting worse and worse. The plug is wobbly. I thought it was the od sensor but I can't find much info on it. That puddle you see under the truck is from just last night.

    C10 lift kit?? 7 inches?!?!

    So I randomly found this c10 lift kit. It says 7 inches if lift but then there is 4" rear blocks. I don't understand how you are getting 7 inches out of that. I'd expect 4. But also is this a real kit? There also seems to be several others. https://www.ebay.com/itm/155103569931

    Ford infotainment into 79 c10

But I am not familiar at all with infotainment systems. I really like the ones I'm ford's. Ac controls obviously wouldn't work but I...
