Hello everyone, I am trying to put AC in my RHD 45 and I came across this company, Restomod Air, and I was wondering if anyone has put one of their reverse cyclone kits in their rigs. It looks pretty promising but if anyone has some insight it would be much appreciated.

Thanks, - Keaton D.

They’ve got a pretty cool showroom local in Coppell, TX just off 635. If you haven’t been by I think it would definitely be worth a visit.

I remember seeing a smaller unit when I was there, that while too small for a 40, might work well in a 45.

I live in Rowlett so not to far from Coppell, I will go check it out! Thanks!

I also have a RHD 45 (Troopy in my case) and I'm considering this as an option:
Old Air Hurricane AC System - looking for feedback and install pics | IH8MUD Forum
Just another option.

I actually just saw these right after I posted this thread. My dad has a buddy at Vintage Air that was telling us about some universal kits they have as well.

That Hurricane unit will fit where the heater goes, in the center under the dash. I am putting one in right now and it sets well. This is the one I bought for my 1978: IP-2100- Inside Package A/C, Heat and Defrost System Side Fittings, Electronic - https://www.oldairproducts.com/product/hurricane-2100-inside-package

I am seeing multiple changes to the dash. Share with us what you have planned.

Large round holes on either end are AC vents, as are the two rectangle holes on either side of the radio.

Because of the AC vent, had to relocate the head light switch down, and also added a fog light switch next to it.

Hole under the gauge cluster is for the Dakota Digital switch.

Hole under the brake seatbelt warning light will be a CEL for my 3FE, using an older 40 indicator light.

Other holes are mostly the same, but moved them around slightly to be symmetrical while adding the AC unit knobs.

A 4 switch panel will go where the ashtray is, just resized the opening to fit the switch panel.

Also deleting the dash pads, so filled in all those holes.

I think that’s everything...
