I have no oubts of any kind that these overflow tanks were installed at the assembly line level and no one can prove they weren't just the same as maybe I can't prove they were.
After seeing several examples of factory AC equipped trucks all having these tanks, it only makes sense that they were obviously part of the standard equipment commonly installed on AC equipped trucks - that's my take on them until someone proves they are dealer installed or something
