Not sure if this makes a difference in your opinion of the systems and becoming out dated soon , I just read a article in the second quarter section 2018 copy of HVAC insider where there is now a direct drop in refrigerant R 421a for R 22 systems , this should make all older equipment once again current with any epa regs . the article is in the lower right hand corner https://en.calameo.com/read/0042361216fff179f8216

So does that mean I can get the AC in my 93 Ford F250 charged with no modification.

A 93 Ford is more likely R 12. :(

Oh well. It has been kept inside all it's life and has 150K and a little bit miles on it. We only drive it a few hundred miles a year now when we need to haul or pick up something. Other than that it stays in the garage with a battery conditioner on the battery. I can live without AC.

It is an extended cab (not crew 4 door) with a 460 motor and towing package and 4 wheel drive. I used to have a 32' 5th wheel. 12 MPG towing or not.

FWIW, R134a is a replacement for R 12. IIUC it runs a bit hotter.

I don't know. I guess I should go down the dealer and check it out. Not a priority though.
