69 442 A/C compressor wanted

Hi Guys i am finally getting around to redoing my 69 olds 442 4 speed with A/C . I have bought a pile of parts of a couple suppliers but i am looking for a A/C compressor as mine just quit!
I have seen a couple from OPG and other suppliers but I am hoping to find one that look original! Can anyone rebuild these?
any help would be appreciated!!

Yes, those compressors are rebuildable. I don't know if there's anyone close to you, though. We have a place here in town (AAPAK) and I'm sure others will know of rebuilders that can maintain the original look of your compressor.

Here's what an original


'69 compressor looks like per the Frigidaire sticker with the part number and date code. I just had mine rebuilt by Old Air Products, 1201 Forum Way S, Fort Worth TX 76140,phone 817-531-2665 and go to "sales". They did a good job with a turnaround time of about 3 months. What I liked is that they retained the sticker for originality and it appears the compressor works as it should. I just got it back in and charged a month ago so the real test won't come until summer but, for now, it blows nice cold air on R134.
