[QUOTE="John19841, post: 863689, member: 10939"] I'm just going to agree to disagree. Some say it isn't practical, some say it is. Rigging the whole damn truck with GPS systems, That is not practical. Adding an A/C system is not that hard, nor expensive. You do not need to 'upgrade' any other systems of the vehicle, as was mentioned. An A/C system is COMPLETELY independent of any thing else in the vehicle. The only thing that it shares is the vents and blower motor with the heater. Anyways, that's not the point I wanted to make. The point I want to make is that if I can go out and buy a complete A/C system that includes everything I need to put A/C in a truck for about $1,000 (Here's a link.... [URL="http://www.nostalgicairparts.com/air-conditioning/big-truck-floor-mount-evaporator-ac-system-453.php"]Truck A/C[/URL]) Then I am positive UPS can come up with their own system for a significantly cheaper price. Hell, even if they bought what I posted, the sheer numbers that they would order would guarantee them a large discount. But anyways, I digress again. Earlier I was asked how much I would give up to get A/C in the trucks. I just showed how it can be put in for about $1,000.
