Custom with air

I bought a parts truck today.
Its a plain jane Custom but its got what looks like factory air conditioning?
Its a 78 F-250
Is air in a Custom a common thing?

Probably depends on where it was sold new. In Phoenix I imagine they all had AC.

for what its worth,many say that a custom is a base model truck.that may be true to a degree,but that does not mean you could not add options to them.you could buy a custom,and load it with all the options aranger xlt had,but it was most likely cheaper to by the already loaded truck,than order a custom with the same extras added to it.a custom is just what it says a custom,add only the options you want. i have a 79 custom,it has a great deal of the same options that my ranger has.-billy
