I am installing aftermarket A/C in my '56. The controller in the truck now has 'A/C' etched into it below the word 'FAN' that is on them all. I've never seen another one in 9 years of looking at car shows.
I've always wondered if it is a Factory A/C switch or an aftermarket unit. But I have no idea if A/C was offered in '56. I'm pretty sure the later '50's trucks could order it. It might be a controller from another year.
Then again, it might be an aftermarket unit. I can find no markings on it and the works are strangely similar to the new controller provided with the Old Air kit.
Anyway, I plan to use the one that was on it. I'm just curious about what it is. Anyone ever seen one with 'A/C' etched in? Was there a factory A/C specific switch in the Task Force years? Anyone have pics of one?
I'll have to post a pic later from the house. I'm on my shop computer and have been waiting for a password reset on Photobucket since before I started typing this.
