How To - AC Install on a 1959 Ford

[@kfl611]

I always thought the 1960's ford fairlane's were so ugly, but the 1950's ones were really nice looking. This one looks very nice and I love the color of the paint and inside, very nice.

[@LGKustoms]

1960 Fairlane is one of the coolest cars. It’s like a spaceship

[@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms]

Gotta stay cool while looking cool

18:28 Nice shop tool. I worked for Cat dealer and used a large hydraulic unit to do the same thing.

[@momof5girls1]

Very cool video , hope they make one for a 74 f-250 highboy I plan on doing one

[@LGKustoms]

This kit would work in a 74 ford.

[@kileyklonowski4173]

My lord, what a beautiful car!!

[@MrRICK244808]

Looks great 👍

Love your crimping tool, gotta get one for the Humber rat rod AC install.

Just found your channel recommended by japhands. Well done , attention to detail. Have subscribed and will be checking out you other videos. Currently working on a 1948 Merc coupe. Have installed bbc 454, 9” ford rear end 3:73 posi, fatman mustang 2 frond suspension. Currently working on replacing rusted rockers.

Cool! Thanks for coming by! The Mercury sounds great, we have a 47 Ford Tudor that’s an ongoing build on this channel.

[@LGKustoms]

Coming soon!

Thats a beautiful 59 My Dad bought one new it was blue and white 352 300hp with 3 speed overdrive I wish I had now

Clean install. I’m willing to bet that crimper can do power steering and hydraulic lines. The crimp callipers are worth having. I used to use them when I did hydraulic lines at work. Helps avoid messy leaks.

[@LGKustoms]

Good call on the calipers

[@labrd41]

Good stuff, thanks.

[@floridian7143]

Thanks for sharing!

[@paulwadas7339]

Really enjoyed the video. Can you provide any part numbers of the individual pieces that you used from the suppliers? I own a 1959 Ford Galaxie Skyliner that I am interested in adding air conditioning. The car has a FE390 from a 1965 Galaxie. Also running the factory power steering pump. Thank you in advance.

[@LGKustoms]

Hey! Unfortunately I no longer have the boxes with part numbers. I called Vintage Air and told them what I was working on, and they figured out everything I needed.

[@timferriss905]

That ride just gets sweeter. Very tidy installation. Is there such a thing as it won’t work. Maybe if I was doing it! When my run of bad luck ends I’ll be in touch. How’s little lux and mom doing? Tim.

[@LGKustoms]

Lux and mom are doing great!

[@donsmith4465]

Now I’m wondering about getting a new compressor and lines for the 64 Galaxie. Mine has the factory under dash unit. The fan still works but the insides are a question mark. Great video you guys. Lucky car owner.

[@LGKustoms]

It would be great if you could keep that original under dash unit!

[@ScottWM54]

Awesome how you made the power steering bracket......

[@LGKustoms]

Thanks 👍

[@samb985]

Good afternoon guys. I have a question. I have an almost identical 59 Galaxie. I was wondering if you guys had to install a harmonics balancer on that 352 FE block when you put in that A/C?

[@jp360ford2]

Nice knee freezer! 😂

[@shotsrodder]

Cool fix😂😂

[@lorriegriffith4979]

Hey Lee, I’ve seen these under dash units all my adult life, but not all of them were mounted level. Do they not work as well not level? Just curious. 👍🏻🤔 Marty G

[@LGKustoms]

That’s a great question! I have no idea haha

[@samuelbatchelor262]

Hello, Can you share which exact condenser you got? I have a 1959 Ford and I’m getting ready to have a/c put in it. Maybe the link or the name of the condenser and where you got it? Thank you!

[@LGKustoms]

I got it from vintage air. I don’t remember the part number unfortunately (I did this job quite a while ago) but I gave vintage air the radiator dimensions and they picked one based on that.

[@samuelbatchelor262]

@@LGKustoms Okay Thank you!

[@olblu8746]

I want to install AC aftermarket on my 69 f-100. The motor is a 300 inline 6 and it has the brackets and compressor on it.wher are you located?

[@LGKustoms]

I’m in Victoria BC

[@jp360ford2]

Nice knee freezer! 😂
