Do you know what the thing on the window is called, I get that it is a stupid question but i have never been able to figure out no matter how much reaserch. thanks and have a great day.
Water is put in the cooler and as you run down the road cool air is pushed into the cab. This gives a feel of cooler air. Like Copy cop said old school A/C..Works like a swamp cooler.
You are looking at a Window Mount Air Conditioner . They are a wind driven swamp cooler .Many types and styles made .They do work but most seem to be car show ornaments these days.I'll bet someone on here, after you get a Blast for not knowing what it is will post either a magazine ad or article all about them. No Junior they are not Elephant *****s.
Hell...You won't be needing the ugly ole swamp cooler.I'LL pay pal you fiddy bucks to get that ugly monster out of your window...lol....Very nice truck!!
There is exelsior in there which is wetted. The breeze blowing through the unit evaporates the water making it seem cooler in the vehicle.
I think that's a Webely-Vickers "Auto Cool-O-Tron 9000". At least that's what they used to call 'em in the old J.C. Whitney catalogs.
Don't be afraid to post questions here. Yes, you'll get reamed a few times, sometimes from those who are on an ego trip (underserved), but sonetimes in good fun. Sit back, relax, read and learn. If you have a question that you think might be considered "stupid", find a couple of oldtimers you trust and send a private message. And, oh, yeah, WELCOME to the craziness!!
