Later AC Pics that is Headed to SHMac

[arcteryx]

@SHMac @Trollhole

Since this is a pretty rare item, I thought I would post some pics of it after I removed it. You will notice the HP line is cut, I had a bear of a time trying to get it out and I asked Marshall if it was OK to cut. He said yes since he was getting new ones made anyway.

Love the TOYODA on the back of the compressor.

Very nice! I think I have one of those compressors...

Jealous of the LHD controller....

All the compressors I've seen, some dating to mid '71 through a '75-76 casting all have the D.

Wonder why that is, out of curiosity?

This will be going into the '79 that Marshall will be restoring for me. We are starting with a pretty solid truck (see pics below) and the plan is to restore it back to near original with the addition of this OEM AC out of Jason's '76 and an OEM PTO winch off of my '71 parts truck. We may start a separate thread on this restoration.

Maybe @beno can give us a history lesson ?

If not, he's becoming a top student in Delancy's School in the Liberal Art of verbosity, where the class motto is, 'If you can't best 'me, baffle 'em with bullchit'

Changed in the in the thirties, we know, because a woman thought it looked cooler.

There must be a division of that remain unchanged or mebbe was pop's red headed step child and given his own company, to be differentiated by a "D".
