Dave, I'm not sure how to answer, but in 66 you could get a dealer installed under the dash AC unit.It was several years later before Ford installed dash ducted AC units.

According to my master parts book, a factory kit was available for F-100-350 starting in 1963. Several part exclusions are listed, mostly for the heavy duty models. A total of 2 seperate kits needed to be ordered, one was engine components, the other was the evaporator and condensor kit. The 300 6cyl DID NOT have a factory ford A/C kit number until 1968, but I'm sure the 240 kit would have probally worked. If anyone wants part numbers or more info, email me at jta1986(No Email Addresses In Posts!)

Jim, That sounds like what I'm referring to. It was dealer installed, not from the factory.

I saw one the other day in Texarkana, a friend bought 2 una-bodies and I went to help him pick them up, the guy we got them from had a 66 with the dealer installed air unit,that his father bought brand new. It tucked way under the dash, almost in the floorboard,and I think it had 3 vents where the air came out, he also said it would run you out of the truck it worked so good
