Don't NOTCH That FRAME! - Fabricating CUSTOM AC Compressor Bracket for LS SWAP - UTX

[@UglyTruckExperience]

🛑 NEW + IMPROVED DESIGN 🛑 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqbdhmOantCYq5o ▶ We weren't happy with the stretch fit belt in the long run, so Jerry has redesigned this bracket to use a tensioner! Check out AC BRACKET 2.0 here!

The 63-66 Chevy truck frame is similar in width to the 67-up so it should work on them too. I have a 64, 69, and 86 Chevy trucks, it’s probably too late but that bracket would be nice for an LS swap in one of them!

[@UglyTruckExperience]

@@genechoate5020 Hey Gene! We've already done the giveaway, but we do have one of these brackets left for sale. If you're interested, send us an email at [e-mail]. Thanks for tuning in!

[@3gunshooter60]

Machinest here. An easy way to measure center to center of holes like that, is to put bolts in each hole and measure from the edge of the first bolt to the corresponding edge of the second bolt. Its a very accurate way to measure center to center. Just an FYI.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Thanks Randy! That makes perfect sense! I think a small metal lathe would make this job a lot easier also. Do you have any recommendations for a small, decent starter lathe? We appreciate you tuning in! --Emily

[@3gunshooter60]

@Ugly Truck Experience I have a few Grizzly brand machines that are very reasonably priced and are very good quality for the money. They do have small table top lathes and small free standing lathes as well.

Cool idea to run the AC compressor in the stock location. I'm interested in the bracket drawing. I already have a 5.3 in my 72 K5 Blazer but still have several things to do before it will run, so this video is coming at a good time.

Thanks Bryan! We're glad you like it! It's been a great truck to work on. We did sign the bracket, but it's with blood, sweat, and tears. 🤣 Emily and Jerry

[@claytonhaske]

Tejas engine mounts position the engine, so the oil pan is level with the crossmember, the intake fits under the hood, and the a/c compressor fits between the frame rails in the stock location without any modifications.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Thanks Clayton. We have worked with Tejas mounts in the past and they do work good for some applications. In a stock square body they raise the nose of the engine up and because the transmission is already tight in the tunnel, it makes it impossible to raise the tail for the correct driveshaft angle. It also raises the left stock exhaust manifold which will not fit in the frame and forces you to do something different for manifolds. The compressor does fit inside the frame in the stock bracket, but the frame still has to be notched in order to run the lines to compressor. Thanks for your comment. We appreciate it. Jerry and Emily

I also have a 84 Jeep CJ7 that's getting a 4.8L, but that probably won't have AC, and if it does, might not need a bracket for clearance.

I know every build is different, and it’s impossible to give an exact figure, but can you give your viewers a rough estimate of strictly your labor costs charged to a customer of an average square body C10 ls swap?

That is something that we get asked quite a bit in comments. We have been doing some live shows and have another coming up, that is something we should probably address. Like you said, it is very hard to come up with that exact number but it is nice to give somebody a close estimate and do your best to stay in that budget. I am always upfront with letting people know the last one we did was 13,500. It was about half parts and half labor. Thanks Salvatore. Jerry

Thanks Dave! Jerry has since redesigned this bracket, so we'll have an updated video coming soon. He's probably built 15 brackets on this engine since then, and we've played around with the idea of just throwing it in something, but I'm sure it'll be torn down and sent to the machine shop someday.

@@UglyTruckExperience I’m interested in buying one from you. You’re on to something here. So we all have seen the kits you can buy that require brackets and a new compressor.

I would be perfectly happy running that in the original location. I’ve slotted my transmission crossmember and have the dingo mounts. There is a lot of room to move it forward and I’m not opposed to cutting the crossmember. Are you selling those or having them made?

[@UglyTruckExperience]

We have one left here for sale and will be making more soon. Send us an email at [e-mail] and we can work out the details there. Thanks Jack! --Emily

Please add me to the drawing, Emily. My 82 has its 5.3 in it now and i may have lucked out with the motor mount position i used. Ill ne sure to nip that ear off the ICT plate before i go any further...just in case.

Hello, I would like to be entered to win your Compressor braket giveaway. I have a 87 R10 with a 3rd gen ls. I live in Texas so need to a/c in my truck. My truck originally was red with red interior. I plan on going white with red interior. I don't see that many of white red plus I just love white. Thanks to you for your videos I've learned alot. Thanks and keep up the good work. ✌️

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Hey Chris, we actually just drew the winners a couple hours ago! Sorry! But we've had several people ask about purchasing one, so if that's something you'd be interested in, send us an email at [e-mail] and let us know. If enough folks are interested, we'll take some orders! We appreciate you watching! --Emily

[@nefdawg187]

Would you make and sell me one of these brackets? I can go pick it up, I only live and hour away from you guys? I've got a 91 Cheyenne that I'm doing and LS swap right now as I'm typing 😅

[@UglyTruckExperience]

If we get enough people interested, we may make some to sell in the future. Keep an eye out on our Facebook page for updates! I'll put your name in the drawing though! It will be June 25 at 8:00 PM. Here's a link! Thanks for watching! kzbin.infos7dRPUfK3Ug?feature=share --Emily
