High output

I was in the junkyard today and noticed one of our year trucks with the a/c box under the hood. It had High Output in raised letters on the black plastic casing where the accumulator would mount. Is it a stronger electric motor? Is it rare? I have never noticed this before. The heater hoses went directly in the case.

From what I understand, the High Output Heater is an option to non-A/C trucks and all A/C'd trucks were equipped with the High Output Heater. Someone correct me if I’m wrong here... I think it uses a different heater core but I've never actually seen a high output heater option in my yards. What the hay, get it.

I had the HO heater in my 85 and currently have the "regular" output heater in my 86. I have'nt noticed a difference in either one. Both seem to work fine warming up the cab.
