I need a small remote condenser for my air conditioner. Any ideas on who has one? It needs to be no wider than 9". Length can be 20" - 30". Going on a 1930 A model truck. Thanks, Lynn

Contrary to Vintage Air's note on page 66 of 2007 catalog "Not recommended as a primary condenser", I did it 2 times for customers. Each customer had to sign a disclaimer before job started. When it did not cool properly, they had to pay for the same job a second time. On John's '37 Chevy, it was 3 times.....rear location, under right fender then finally where Detroit has put it since the 1948 Caddy...front of radiator. Most model As got to a '32 shell/grille so the AC condenser can mount correctly. Jim said it.
