R-12 to R-134a

[JustRangerThings]

Morning y'all! Is there a kit i can purchase to convert from r12 to r134a? I tried the little autozone kits and they do not fit my truck. Its a 1992 C1500 with the TBI 350 (5.7)

Sort of. I was just trying to find new service valves, to avoid spending an arm and a ball on compressors and mess like that.

My 92 after 10 years of running on R-12 after purchasing it needed a recharge. My local shop had an adapter kit for the fittings. And oil to make it work. Refilling with the new Freon. Charged me 200$. That was 3 years ago, working like a charm. If everything is working as it should no need to change anything else.

If it leaked out before, it will leak again.

Ive already found the source of the leak, the service valves look like they got mauled by a grizzly, and im replacing all of the seals before I recharge it.

Receiver/drier should also be replaced since the system has been open.
