    Randyman, The AC units for our older trucks were pretty basic, just an under dash add-on unit, nothing built in like the later ones. The most common is the knee freezer, thats what I call them, hung under the dash on the passenger side, that what I have in my 76, they work alright, have also seen numerous other styles over the years, what I have in my Blew rig, it also hangs under the dash but comes over to the Ebrake handle covering the lower heater vent, it also connects to the side dash vents via hose and the original vents are capped off, its a lot nicer unit, cools much better than the the kneefreezer.
    I do have an extra complete kneefreezer unit but sorry don't want to sell it, may need it someday:D

    Also on the wiper arm bushings, I don't think they can be replaced seperately, and doubtful they are still available new as a complete arm assembly, wrecking yards are your best bet.
    For what its worth, a few years back I needed to fix the wiper arms myself in an older 77 truck and couldn't find any worthy pieces for the job so I ended up building my own using some rod material and roller end heim joints, made the new arm from the rod material, threaded the rod ends on and used a bolt to replace the ball pivot, it took a little tinkering but ended up working fine.
