Re: Dealer Installed A/C for ’64-‘66

Wow, what a find! That would have been awesome to have kept it around, but I completely understand. I have sold stuff thinking that I would never have a need for it, only to find out a few years later that it was a big mistake. I'm a sucker for NOS parts, especially when they're still in the original boxes with all the instructions still intact.

My '64 was one of the ones that got the dealer-installed A/C, probably using the exact same kit you had. Mine was odd. It had the A/C added to the Thrift heater, so it had no fresh air feature. Instead of having the three slide levers like the Deluxe had, it has two pull knobs. When I got the truck, it was missing everything under the hood, along with the entire evaporator assembly from under the dash. Oddly enough, it still had all the really desirable parts intact, like the center bezel, all the knobs, and the super hard to find underdash ashtray. The ashtray alone was worth more than I paid for the entire truck. I searched high and low for all the missing parts, and I'm pretty close to finishing the restoration of the parts and installing them.
