Re: factory air ?

can it be factory air but removed from an original truck and put into this truck and thats why it looks so hacked up. its got the 3 controls on the side and vents have the chevy logo on them.

It is factory air, however it's missing the cosmetic cover or outlet bezel. Factory air was available stating from 65. Before that it was a dealer installed option. I would recommend getting an assembly manual or an accessories installation reference manual. Lots of good information available with these manuals. Hope this helps

Re: factory air ?

ok so is the factory dash slightly different in that area so the ducting fits correctly or are all the installations like that?

Re: factory air ?

ok. thats all very helpfull. i have a assembly manuall but i will get the accessory manual.
so i think i have a factory a/c that someone installed into this truck at a much later time.

so are all the holes hacked out like mine or do they look better?

is the a/c dash different than no a/c?

here some more photos of vents and behind glove box.

Re: factory air ?

The trim pieces look factory to me. But to cut a hole like that, I dought the factory did that but then again I wasn't there..
Where in SF are you located? I am over in the Eureka Valley/Twin Peaks area.
