How Rare is It?
Sound like a great truck. Unfortunately, Ford does not have any records available to document the originality of your truck or to substantiate the actual number of similar trucks. If by "how rare" you mean "how valuable" that is a function of market demand. I would suspect that there is a ready market for your truck assuming you wished to sell and it is in good shape. The mileage is hard to document based on the trucks condition alone because a well maintained truck with 160,000 miles will look as good if not better than a poorly maintained truck with 60,000 miles. As far as the AC, tach and clock, I suspect that they are either dealer installed or installed after-the-fact by someone; you should be able to look at the wiring harness to see if it has been altered. I hope this has answered your questions.

Joe The before described items were all installed at the dealership, as after market items. I'd say you have a rare find, because there weren't many of those items installed.
As for how much more value than a like truck with out, it would be hard to say. If they all worked maybe $3 - 500.00 IMHO.

How Rare is It?
During the summer of '98 I sold my friend's 1966 F100 truck. This was an Eastern Washington state truck (desert climate), had 56K original miles and was completely original all the way down to the oil bath air cleaner. It also had the 352, no rips in the original bench seat, etc. it did not have the options you mention above. It was factory four wheel drive.
I knew this was a rare find and starting the summer asking $4200. Cosmetically it could have used a paint job but then again that original paint with some surface rust in the bed showed the mileage was actual. I'll spare you the story of mileage authentication - everyone has one.
We ended up selling it about three months later for $3000. There were plenty of "looky lou's". I probably showed the truck twenty five times. This is the best indicator I know of to gauge a '66 truck's value. This one was clean and original and very straight. Good luck.
I should've bought the damn thing myself!
