There are some quite smart free standing roof pods out there , that will do , but they only blow from the roof down.You should look at companies that fit campers , truck etc etc out..Problem is with diesel Pinzs though is they chuck alot of heat out around the motor.

Were has Mark been :?: would have thought he would have commented by now

I would guess you have a 12 v system being a TD, so there are many choices out there. Check out RV accessory stores.

No, the probability is that the 718 is 24v. The Pink Cow is one of the Swedish Pinz contract that were 12v... there were between 35 to 39 vehicles. The majority of all TDs were still 24v.

If I was so inclined to add a/c, I would look at any of the Volvos or VWs with a diesel for a compressor. A typical engine with the proper brackets.
On this side of the pond, Red Dot would be the ticket.

That's interesting. That's the first non Swedish Pinz I've heard of that was 12v. I knew they made them, just not many...... somewhere in my archives, I have a wiring diagram and "special components" part list for 12v TD Pinzes. ...... Which version is your trruck? P80, P90 or P93?
Post a pics of your truck for us.

Cheers

It is p80
will send pics soon.
guide to posting pics on this forum please.
very new to all this.
thanks

Cool

...I like the nose of the P80s the best...since you're new here, do a search on the Pink Cow, that is my truck. It would be best to ask any technical questions in the TurboD part of this forum, the gassers have very little in common with the TDs...... someone is liable to tell you to check your distributor timing..or rebuild your carbs.

To post pics here, they need o be stored on an online website, like photobucket, then use img button in the "post a reply" menu, then the link to the pic, then /img button, after the link. the preview button at the bottom of the page will show you if you got it right or not.

If you like, you can send them directly to me, and I can post what you like. Also, if you send your VIN, I can let you know which version of the cooling system you have.

Man Dave, Before I got home to day from work. I had a post all figured out in my head. Now that you've responded it kind of ruins it. But I'll post any way maybe some will get a chuckle out of it

will try red dot they look quality units,has anybody used there products.

Gary, Hi you are new to the forum so you may not know Dave, but he has been around sense the beginning of pinzgauer forums. You see he's as old as dirt (if he was a lizard he'd be a belt by now)

. If he's recommending something it's probably of high quality.

Posted: **Sat Oct 11, 2008 8:59 pm**

Gee Erik, why didn't you just say that my first Pinz was drawn by an actual Pinzgauer.

Posted: **Sat Oct 11, 2008 10:40 pm**

those pinzgauers really are probably belts by now.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the help,have posted 2 pics,hope they reach you.
found the pink cow looks good without the lid,is it diesel? p80 fronts I agree are the best looking.I imported it here after a 1000mile drive & ferry crossing.still cant use it yet, 6 wks wait for documents/inspection by traffic office/reg plates to be issued.
Regards

GM.

PS thanks to Erik712m for letting me know Dave is a prehistoric Pinzosaurus,you did not say how he survived the ice age?
