jjrbus Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 The old AC needs recharging ploy. The AC needs recharging because it is BROKE and broken AC's can cost big $$$$$$$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred heath Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 A/C of that era are ammonia based, sealed system. They can't be recharged only replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOPE older cab unit ACs use Freon R12, newer AC use R134. Sealed roof units "normally" R22. Refers are the ammonia based things in an RV.

zero Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I have a 1978 Toyota Chinook with factory cab AC. It uses R12 refrigerant and a Toyoda compressor. Here are some photos of a spare setup I have I yanked out of a 1977 Toyota Chinook. Note the R12 on the spec tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob C Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I converted my cab air to r134a 2 years ago. It still puts out extremely cold air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berticus Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Very similar to the one I just bought... my AC works. Glad to see other Cal-Campers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
