Hi guys,

I believe my truck came with factory A/C but, is there any way to confirm that.? PO removed the system and I was thinking to re-install it someday. What are facts that indicates stock or dealer A/C.? Not sure if this will be of any help... Thanks.

1973/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco: THREE different types of AC, one is factory installed, the other 2 are dealer installed.

1) Factory installed integral A/C is combined with the heater. The A/C controls are located in the same panel as the heater controls.

Huge A/C evaporator case located at the right (passenger side) rear corner of the engine compartment.
--------------------
2) Deluxe dealer installed A/C is combined with the heater. The 2 A/C switches are located in the HUGE dash bezel that sweeps across the entire right side of the dash, covering up the glove box.

There is a separate "hang-on" glove box bolted to the bottom of the dash.
--------------------
3) Economy dealer installed A/C is not combined with the heater. The 2 A/C switches are located in a panel that also contains 2 A/C registers.

This panel fits into the dash to the left of the glove box.

Thanks Bill,

I see mine is option one, so factory installed since the controls are located in the same panel as the heater controls.
