Hello all, I am looking for an electric under dash A/C unit for my 86 k20. It’s not a factory A/C truck, and I’m really wishing it was here in az right now! If anybody knows a good unit please help a fellow out

It's going be too much for your trucks electrical as is. You'll need wiring, Alternator and probably a battery upgrade.

^^^what he said^^^ a GOOD electrical A/C unit will be wattage hungry, around 950 watts. Your wiring, alternator, battery will be insufficient. Unless you’re running a 130 amp alt or more don’t waste your time. Do your homework, math required. I’ve looked into it and it is most certainly cost prohibitive for the the older squares.
