Defiantly an early 65441 A/C. Which translates to 65 mph, 4 window, 4 wing window and one under dash fan A/C system. Does anyone know if factory A/C was offered in the GMC trucks like it was in Chevy trucks in the later years? I think it was first offered in Chevrolet trucks in 1965, correct me if I am wrong. I also noticed that it does not have an under hood heater assembly. It looks like an aftermarket inside cab heater assembly was installed or was this a GMC thing?

there were 2 heaters; the deluxe one which extends to under the hood and the thrift heater which this truck appears to have and the other option was to not have one

I have five Chevy trucks that have either the thrift air heater system (one knob to pull for heat and twist to control the fan speed) and the deluxe heater system (three knobs to turn on heat, control floor or defrost door, control fan speeds) and all of them have the heater core and fan assembly box out under the hood. That is why I am wanting to know if this is an aftermarket heater or a heater system that was used only on GMC's.

Ok this helps. This is a 60-63 Chevy and GMC option that is refered to as recirculating air heat system. It only utilizes two levers and the heater core and fan are located inside the cab.

I also have not seen one like that before. The rear door hinges do not stick out to the exterior which could indicate it was built in Canada. Any members from Canada know the names of the coach building companies that built crew cabs?

[Captainfab]

I would question whether it is an original crewcab from '65-'66 or if it was built by an individual sometime between then and now. The center piece along with the forward edge of the rear door is strange looking.
