134a isn't that much harder to install.  I've not done it as I don't 
have all the tools, but Dad has rolled over his fleet to it and as long 
as the system remains intact (my '85 has a blown evaporator), it works 
fine without having a flammable gas in the cab.  If I recall correctly, 
it's just some fittings and a new receiver/dryer.  Toolwise, you do have 
to have a new set of gauges, or at least new hoses for your old ones.  
Dad converted all of his cars even though he was still sitting on a 
stockpile of R12.  Doesn't even know what to do with it now.  Prices 
dropped because everyone's converting.
