Re: 65-66 Factory A/C
My AC cab has this little extra air deflector on it, can anyone else confirm this as an AC only piece.

Re: 65-66 Factory A/C
My 65 had the thriftair heater and it has that part so I don't think it was A/C only thing.as a matter of fact I have seen that part on a lot of heater only trucks

Pic of that air deflector piece thing, and some of the riveted on bottom and bolted on top offset crossbars.

Re: 65-66 Factory A/C
Good pic Cortcomp and Mark, that Xbar as far as I would be concerned is a sure fire way to prove it. I guess it would be easy to add or hard to replace if you had a wreck.

Re: 65-66 Factory A/C
Thank you cortcomp. Looks like I can reproduce the bend in the x brace pretty easily. As far as the little air deflector I'm still not convinced that was an A/C only part.

Re: 65-66 Factory A/C
So this is a dealer install? Bent cross bars but nut/bolt at the bottom.
Anyone have a pic of a factory stamped dash? |

Re: 65-66 Factory A/C
Interesting discussion, I thought the a/c option also pulled in soft-ray glass - but as I read thru the above posts, not sure that is the consensus(?) Only documentation I could find doesn't seem to mention it though. Is there a definitive answer on this - was this a later year thing wherein a/c and soft-ray were linked together?

Re: 65-66 Factory A/C
I just bought a 1966 truck for parts that has factory air in it. Is it better to restore the factory air system and put it in my non a/c truck (66), or buy an aftermarket unit? Thank you in advance for any replies.
