I need a AC condenser! cant find one

Isaac Ristow · Jul 11, 2020

I have a 84 F250 with the short wide radiator and factory ac. I can't find a ac condenser for the short wide radiator anywhere they did make them it came with it from the factory but was missing when I got the truck. Its different than the condenser used in any of the other 80-97 trucks. Anyone have one or have a lead on one? Id consider swapping the core support if I didn't already buy a new radiator for $500 for my core support. T

I just checked https://car-part.com/ and there are a bunch of condensers for sale between $50-$100. I'd have a radiator shop check it out before you install it.

Gasser/diesel replacement condenser should be the same. The GDP 3605C one should have all the mounting brackets.

I just put a generic parallel flow condenser in my Mercedes diesel. I had to fabricate brackets, but the condenser was only $40 bucks on ebay. It was brand new and shipped pressurized so it was definitely solid.
A parallel flow condenser will work better with modern refrigerants anyway.

Short wide, was a Non-A/C truck. Or someone swapped out to a short wide. A/C on a short wide, was normally a dealer installed, or aftermarket A/C.

Does this truck have vents in the dash?

If it had the tall narrow radiator then yes that would fit. I already bought one and tried to make it go didn't work

what did you do for the lines? this would be a option but I'm not sure where to go to get lines made or how to identify the connections
