We now have a special made AC fitting to easily plumb a #10 standard barrier hose onto your 1976-1979 Ford truck evaporator. This is a #12 male insert o ring to #10 hose crimp. This piece was the most challenging part of plumbing in factory HVAC with new plumbing and engine swaps until now. This is made in a 135 degree type. It directs the hose over to the passenger side, where most engine swap applications will have the pump.
Keep that factory HVAC! It outperforms expensive aftermarket systems.
Available in 90 degree and 135 degree, but you probably want 135.
