Not sure how to locate the part number for these Jon - I have a huge master parts catalog for GMC through the 60's so I'll see if I can find it. GMC took the time to change the label design for the overflow tanks used on factory AC trucks so I feel like there is a GMC part number in a master parts book but unless it was offered as a stand alone accessory option (which it obviously wasn't) it would not show in the accessory guides, and it would not show in any Chevrolet books unless used on them, and to my knowledge they were not added to any Chevy trucks after 1955. So this is probably a GMC-only item, and with exception of Petes' unusual example they were on all assembly-line installed AC trucks regardless of 305 vs 351. I have found them on both and have collected three tanks off factory AC GMC trucks so far so we can find a part number I feel like - need to see what the master parts book shows us
