In 67,70,71 only 14% had A/C.
This is the only number I am able to find...posted in the red book. (the 14% is an average of all equipped so in each year listed)

I'm willing to bet that very few trucks sold in Canada got A/C. Not a whole lot of reason when it might only be warm enough to think about using it one or two days a year, right?

I have yet to personally see a Canadian truck (restored or not) that was an A/C truck...can't be too many for sure anyway...

I guess that's one factory option that's not uncommon in this area. Out of my 14 trucks (mostly parts trucks), 8 have or had factory air. Man, I need to get rid of some of these things! I didn't realize untill now how many I had, lol.
