Default Re: My uber rare 1966 GMC Suburban Discovery

So in the above shots you see the special AC-only radiator overflow tank - this came as part of assembly-line installed AC on all 64-66 GMC's. Very often missing when you do find an AC truck.
Here's some more pics:

one shows the cool firewall markings so took a shot of that, and one shows a special AC-only radiator hose retaining clamp which is ALWAYS missing on AC trucks. This is the only GMC I have so far seen in real life that still has this clamp. Two pics show the suction hose routing across the heater box and firewall, and you can see the special clamps holding the hose to the heater box and firewall. Last pic is of the special L bracket used on top of the AC-only shroud to hold the return hose in place. These little L brackets are usually gone as well, and especially the loop holding the hose to the bracket.
