Two things to worry about here.
1. Assuming the A/C unit needed 10 Amps (at 115 volts), you would need
almost 90 amps (at 13 volts) continuous and a 100% efficient inverter to
provide the necessary power.
2. How do you get airflow through the condenser coil on the back of the
A/C unit? If it is inside the cab the "net" cooling of the unit is less than
none. It would actually make the cab warmer. You would have to somehow
provide a fairly substantial outside air flow for the rear of the unit.

Subject: [oletrucks] Old Panel Truck W/ 110 volt AC installed under the
Dash ?
Hi , over the weekend at a carshow i seen a old panel truck with a very small
110 volt ac mounted below the dash in the center.It was trim out nice with a
custom face plate.He was showing it off but not giving details except that it
was 110 volt & worked really well.Would a small AC run off of a inverter with a
second battery and a larger alternator??? or is someother way it was done?
