Default Denso AC compressor adapters

Does anyone know where I can source a set of AC adapters for a denso truck compressor? Nostalgic air parts lists them in their catalog but when I called them they said they were out of stock and demand was through the roof and practically laughed at me (so if someone from NAP sees this ).

http://www.nostalgicairparts.com/air...apters-592.php

It's the peanut style adapters that I need like those ^

Yeah, I called them. Apparently they only sell bulk order now, bummer.

Anybody else got any leads for me?

Try getting them off of a donar truck at a salvage yard. Then you can cut them and have ends welded on by someone with a tig welder. Im using the same compressor and I was able to get 1 end from doc blocks about a year ago, they only had 1 of them availabe at the time. If I was to do it over I would just scavenge them off a truck and modify to fit.

Did you ask docs who they sell them to.

I didn't ask who they sell them to, not a bad idea.

Pulling and modifying blocks from a donor truck isn't a bad idea, I had thought of doing that. I'll keep it a consideration.

Yeah, when I called Nostalgic Air Parts they said if they had any in stock they would already be gone. Apparently a very popular part for them, I know a large number of S10 guys use the same compressor. There's one place that has both adapters but they want like $130 shipped for two of them (one is only like $20 and the other is like $95 apparently). What sort of details do you need?

^not the peanut style fittings. Look in my first post to see the link for the style I'm looking for. I've already checked ebay, nothing on there.

Certainly could be a good start, I made a discovery though!!!!

http://www.apairinc.com/iView.asp?Ca...or%20Manifolds

PN 451-1105 and PN 451-1106 are for the denso 10S20F and 10S17F which is the compressor style I have shown below...

They also have the seals to seal them to the compressor and packs of o-rings that I need to replace. Going to be calling them tomorrow morning to see if they have them in stock and can sell them to me or know where I can order from. Will report back with my findings.

That looks like a good find, but I hate websites that don't list prices. I ended up having mine fabricated/welded from the original fittings like the other's suggested you do. In my case though, I don't think I could have got the adapter fitting and another fiting to fit in my space requirements since I really didn't want to notch my frame much.

Sometimes you just gotta call! I agree it is much easier though if they have prices on their website and you can just order online. Art; Not sure if it will mount to an fbody bracket.

I called AP air, and it's a home run! Parts were pretty cheap too, $22 for one block and $16 for the other plus $4 for the two seals that go between the adapters and the compressor. part numbers!

451-1106 (Denso 10S20F/10S17F to #10 adapter block)
440-823 (Seal for ^ block)
451-1105 (Denso 10S20F/10S17F to #8 adapter block)
440-822 (Seal for ^ block)

They also have 10 pack's of AC o-rings for pretty cheap as well, $3 a pack. Good idea to go ahead and replace all the o-rings on your AC lines while you have the system apart, it's a high pressure system and in my trucks case the original ones were 11 years old. And o-rings are cheap, I went ahead and ordered a pack of #8,10 and 12 o-rings. I'll be sure to post pictures of everything when it all comes in and my final product.

Parts showed up...like last week actually but I wasn't able to make it home from school last weekend. Everything looks good, ran me $58 shipped for everything, no verification on fitment yet as my truck is still getting the exhaust bent up for it...

AC parts...ran $58 shipped for everything.
