I have not seen this style before. However, I did consider that the LMTV specific unit was just a metal box with heat and A/C bits in it. It would not be hard to make a similar metal box and put in a Vintage Air heat and A/C unit in it. I still might go that route, but these back wall units are...

I'm trying to gauge the health of my air compressor. If I drain the tanks and start it and let it idle, how long should it take to build max pressure? Seems like mine takes 2-3 minutes. Is that "normal"?

I'm not 100% sure with the 3126, but I looked at the 3116 that GM put in some of the Topkick trucks. Every one I found had the A/C brackets on the passenger side, which was made possible by running a much smaller civilian alternator on that side.
