COCKPIT SEATS
In
addition to the driver's seat in the cab there are two passenger
seats with armrests on both sides, an air conditioning unit and
all the duct work that supports the air conditioner. Dick and
Marty spent the day gathering all this material together and
laying it out on the floor to determine what needs to be done to
restore it, what brackets must be installed in the cab and
generally what method to invoke to restore everything. Every piece
was in
deplorable shape and much will have to be completely rebuilt or
built new.

AIR CONDITIONER
Dick
Saddler and Marty Reed carried the large air-conditioning condenser
up into the cab to understand how it was mounted.
Here is
where we could use some help. We have the air conditioner
condenser and compressor as well as an extra set that the FIDO
(Canadian Futurliner) folks gave us. We need an air conditioner
shop to take these components and make one good set work. This is
the early 1950's vintage air conditioner system that GM put on its
Cadillac's and Buicks. Is there anyone out there that can give us
a hand?
