I don't know what company rebuilds them, but I got a
decent compressor from Pep Boys for my '67. Its an
RV2. The first one they gave me failed, but the
second one has held up for a year so far.
My best advice would be, unless you really are
intimately familiar with refrigeration systems, to
have a professional do the job. Then, not only will
you get a warranty, but you'll have someone who's
intimately familiar with those little refrigerant
molocules and their particular idiosyncracies,
favorite oils, etc.
