OEM in dash AC

Where would I find GM documentation of when AC was available on a 67-72 in dash…..

My understanding is that it wasn’t available in dash until 1972 - it was a rear ac unit along the headliner 67-71

I’m in a heated debate with a keyboard warrior on a suburban Facebook page.

Thx

Re: OEM in dash AC

nobody has input?

Shouldn't this be a line item on the SPID?

Re: OEM in dash AC

friendly suggestion to possibly get more attention to your thread - update title with suburban dash a/c first available year? or something more pointed to your query might garner more responses

neither my '71 or '72 suburban has a/c and can't honestly say from all the suburbans I've looked at but I'm sure someone in here knows

I can offer this '71 suburban brochure that mentions the body-integrated air conditioning option and the dash pictured above is non-air

the '71 pickup truck and blazer brochures both show a/c in dash so sure looks like there's was something holding back the air option in the dash in suburbans

keep bumping thread and someone(s) that knows will chime in - good luck!

Again...not an authority...but to add to what Killer Bee posted, here are the side by side comparisons of the 1971 and 1972 Suburban brochures with reference to the A/C units available those years. I hope it helps!

Re: OEM in dash AC

I'm not sure why there are two threads on the same topic. (?)

Look at the Information Kits from GM heritage center. A quick look shows "roof mounted air" as the only A/C option for Suburban (C69) in 1971.

For 1972 it says "front and rear" air (C69)

front only A/C should be rpo C60
