I have just taken the A/C off of the roof of my 72 and disposed of it, My
side walls were being forced outward, the ceiling was cracking around the
wall posts and the aluminums at the wheel wells was buckling. When we
removed it I could then understand why all of this was happening, it was all
two men could do to lift it.It now sits in a scrap metal yard and good
riddance.
