Default Adding a/c

I have a 68 Ford F-250 and would like to add air-conditioning. I have been unsuccessful in finding pictures to see what factory A/C would look like to stay correct. Does anyone have any info or pictures on what factory 1968 Ford F-250 air-conditioning vents in the cab would look like? Sure appreciate it!!

I'm not too sure you were even able to get factory air that far back. Most I saw were add on under the center front of the dash.

Those days vehicles came with movable vent windows, lol .

Hi Hanky, thanks for the reply. I figured as much, but before I put an under dash mount as there seems to be two options, one that runs under the entire dash and the other that has three individual AC vents mounted to the under dash. I thought I would select the one that would have been more similar to the original or factory which as you stated wasn't one. so I guess I will pick the three individual vents as they seem to be less intrusive. Thanks again for the reply. AC_Guy

Thanks for the update.
Much later years had means to prevent "Freeze up", but I never did learn how the under dash units did that.
