AC blowing heat

My 93 "L" with 44K miles is blowing hot instead of cold...could it just need recharging? I have only driven the truck 4K
miles in the last 18 months, but it finally got hot here in The Netherlands, so I tried the AC but no go, you think because I haven't used the AC in a year that it could have caused a problem, or that the charge went away? HELP....thanks in advance!!

YOUR PROBLEM MIGHT NOT JUST BE THAT YOU NEED TO RECHARGE YOUR SYSTEM. YOU MAY HAVE A LEAK
I KNOW AT MY WORK 9 CARS OUT OF 10 THAT ARE BROUGHT IN TO GET THIER AC RECHAGED HAS AN AC LEAK, USUALLY AT THE EVAPERATIOR INSIDE THE VEHICAL
 
Where do I look for the evaporator in my "L"?
That way I can check it out before I try to
recharge the system. Thanks
 
IF YOU TAKE YOUR CAR IN TO A SHOP TO GET YOUR SYSTEM RECHARGED THEY WILL PUT A DIE INTO THE FREE-ON TO SEE IF IT LEAKS.IF IT LEAKS YOU DO'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THE FREE-ON THAT LEAKED OUT. I WOULD SUGGEST TAKING IT IN JUST TO HAVE A LEAK TEST DONE.JUST IF IT LEAKS THE TECH WILL LET YOU KNOW. THE EVAPORATER IS LOCATED BY YOUR HEATER CORE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE YOUR DASH TO GET TO BECAUSE I NEVER DID ONE ON A F-159. ON NEONS YOU HAVE REMOVE THE STEERING COLUM TO GET TO. IF IT IS LEAKING AT YOUR EVAPORATER AND YOU ARE VERY KNOWLEGEABLE ABOUT REPAIRING YOUR VEHICAL,AND YOU HAVE A WEEK END TO BURN, THAT YOU SHOULD TRY TO TAKLE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE EVAPORATER YOUR SELF. HAVEING A TECH REPLACE IT WILL COST ANYWHERE FROM 200 TO 400 PENDING ON HOW MUCH THEY CHARGE YOU PER HOUR. USEUALLY THEY CALL FOR ABOUT 4 HRS AT 65 DOLLARES AN HOUR PLUS PARTS PLUS 20-30%OF PARTS
 
Check to make sure the heater hose has not crushed and broken the wires that go to the pressure safety switch.
