i dont necessarily have to have one, but it would be nice. im in the truck like 6-7 hours a day driving around and its 95 and humid out today 
yea i found a belt for 65 that includes the ac compressor.
i found an OEM ac compressor for $200, so i guess itll all be fine.
i hope it only takes 2-3 hours labor to take out the radiator fan and unwrap the belt and install new things...

can a locked up ac compressor really make the truck not start? thats what has me puzzled

I was on way back from Daytona races this year and we pulled into the Virginia rest stop and truck was idling and it just shut off, turned the key and motor acted like it was locked up, it didn't budge, pulled the belt loose and checked all my pulleys and found te AC cluch locked up. so ys a bad ac can lock the truck up.

well i know this cause i was freaking out for this customer who had to get his kids back to the city and we couldnt get the new ac compressor in from the dealer in time, 
so i asked the mech if there was a quick fix, and he was like yea just bypass the compressor.. it was easy and got him home.

That's what those blue spaces with the funny signs are for!! JK, don’t do that.
Sounds like you need one of them Rascal scooters. I just go about 2 or 3 in the morning, very few cars or other patrons at that time of night. Only works if the store's open 24hrs though, seems like most wally worlds are.
