M1010 AC in a M1009

[niferous]

Does anyone know if an air conditioning system for an M1010 Ambulance (the one for the front cab) will fit into a M1009? There is one I found for sale. It's a complete unit so I'm hoping I can use it.

I've never seen an M1010 with cab A/C, only in the patient compartment. Was it add on? Anyone else seen this?

Never seen it for the cab. Parts of the A/C system are on the box, so the stock system would need major retrofitting.

It's on Ebay, the seller mentions that it appears to be aftermarket.

Yup that's the one. Can I post a link or is that forbidden?

Right now the auction is cheap, but it will go up...The auction does not include a compressor, it does not say about the mounts. If you are the type of person that understands AC systems and possibly fabing up compressor mounts and possibly new hoses -the compressor you get may not mount in the right place for the hoses it comes with and the ends may not be compatible with the compressor. It would be a project and I would not consider this to be plug and play.

Honestly I have a very good AC guy that knows old 4x4 trucks and I would take it to him and let him mess with it.
