Killer patina. Speedo says 49*** and we are thinking that's actual given it's history. I come walking down the sidewalk and the first thing I notice is "8-400" on the fender. Yep, he got himself a factory 396 truck. Extremely complete and unmollied.
Here is the stumper: It has A/C that isn't factory (not an A/C cab). What we are trying to figure out is if it could be a dealer installed item or completely aftermarket. The engine part looks pretty stock but in the cab looks like A$$. The unit doesn't sit flush because the air box is so big in the cab and has to be pointed almost straight up. The compressor bracket is huge and has TWO idler pulleys that you can barely see in the pic. What do you think it is? Thanks!

Your unmollified truck has a York aftermarket AC installed in it. York used the FORD ac compressors used in F100's, Rustangs, Falcoons etc and that comp, if you choose to keep it is still available from parts geek and other highway robbers for about $150.00. I would rip all of that stuff out, however and put in a good aftermarket hidden system like vintage air.
