1967 Truck A/C Question
I was looking a for an A/C dash in the Brothers and LMC catalogs and they both show 1968-72 but no 1967.
I'm wondering if the 1967 trucks even came with A/C. I can't figure out why the 1968 dash wouldn't be the same as the 1967. Anybody have any idea why they would be different? BTW, I Googled and didn't see anything that helped. Thanks!

Re: 1967 Truck A/C Question
67s were offered with the C60 air conditioning.
The Truck Shop www.truckandcarshop.com lists their control heads as fitting 67-72. Southern Kentucky Classics www.sokyclassics.com also lists 67-72.

Re: 1967 Truck A/C Question
The 67's had a "one year only" ignition switch that is much smaller than the 68-72. That may be the reason, they didn't want to tool up a whole new dash stamping for just the 67 ignition switch, so they're listed as 68-72. You can just use a 68-72 ignition switch, or cut out and weld in one for a 67.
Do you actually need a new dash? It's easy to cut the vents into these dashes, there's even templates floating around... If your radio area is trashed, you can replace that with a repro patch and cut the holes for A/C out.

Re: 1967 Truck A/C Question
I'd like to thank everyone for their responses. I couldn't imagine '67's w/o A/C (thanks SSTim and 68Gold/white for clearing that up) but didn't understand the missing year in the catalogs. 67ChevyRedneck's explanation of the ignition switch was a real eye opener. I'm now going to track down some templates. I haven't started my truck restoration yet since I'm trying to gather parts and get my plan together to make this as smooth as possible. Thanks all! Gary

Re: 1967 Truck A/C Question
You can see the size difference. I also forgot about the cigarette lighter, it's really small on 67's and huge on 68-72's.

Re: 1967 Truck A/C Question
Jesse is correct. That is the only things I know that are different on them. My 67 I had for a short while had factory AC and over drive.
