Is is possible to fit an AC unit in a Model A gas tank?

Anyone ever put an AC unit inside the original dash gas tank in a '28-'29 Ford? It seems like maybe it's too small. Say what you must about Hot Rods not having AC, Houston gets HOT.

 

You might be able to use one of the aux. type ac units found in the back of conversion vans and limos. I know that could be made to fit.

 

I have put 1000 mini's from Vintage Air in Model A's. Not much room, gut the tank and it fit in there. I put the gen ll in 33-34 the mite fit in a model a. You will see most of the box.

 

Mostly it sounds like fitting an evaporator and getting air flow in, and out to passenger area are the "dimensional" issues

 

anythings possible...

 

i've done it

 

That is wild.....good job.

 

Art.flame, was the a kit, or something you pieced together?

 

Yes.

 

ac came from vintage air ,have look what type it was ,but one of the smallest they offered
the only thing i made where a few brackets but only because i didn't like the ones they had

here's a pic from the inside

The lowbuck guy could look at rear A/C units from minvans or like a Chevy Suburban, I know the Suburban one isn't that big under the plastic housing, and uses a lot of standard GM connections and so forth.

 

Thanks folks. I'll really be thanking you in August.

 

Put a compressor on from a 55 Ford. You could make it out of 50's a/c components.

An early compressor would look better, heavy though.

 

True, but it would be cool to make the whole thing out of vintage parts.
