They would of had to have a fan because the evaporator needs airflow to push the cold air out into the cab. Its a cool (no pun intended) idea! Your actually correct with the 359 style , by putting the evap on the roof. The trucks after the 359's had the AC under the dash.

Thanks on the info i did find some pics of 378's that have the ac pipeing running down the backside of the cab, but i don't think the 359's had this, trying for the look i remember which was an old school style (i thinks that the right wording)

Also when i was looking at the pics of what i did so far and looking at it on the cab i realized that it was too tall and didn't look right so i lowered some and is looking better now.

Thank you both for the help it's much appreciated.

Mike

Here is 2 new pics of it lowered some,
