Autozone, Advance, Oreilly's. any of these will have the fittings you need.

So your saying they just sell conversion parts out of the box at adavanced?I dont think so.The question i asked was about adapting older fittings(r12) to newer style(r134a)

Do I need to go out to my truck and take pictures for you?

I didn't have to change the coils, Just the fill fittings, dryer, orifice tube, and compressor oil. Works great. It'll freeze you out.

All I did on my Chevy in the end is put the adapter fittings on and run ester oil. Yes, you should replace all the o-rings, the orifice, pressure switches, drier, etc, but my system doesn't leak and blows 34* out of the vents.

What fittings are you having trouble getting? There aren't magical adapter fittings necessary other than the service port adapters. Are you trying to mismatch entire components like a newer generation compressor with an older system? If this is the case good luck. Use the correct compressor for the system and it will be fine.

if you are needing the service port adapters they are available at the auto parts seperate from the kits.
