A/C Vent & Underdash Ashtray

I don't want to violate the rules for auctions, so I have removed the information.

Reading some of the threads on here makes me miss my '66. Nice trucks.

Re: A/C Vent & Underdash Ashtray

Hate to see a perfectly good thread go to waste.

Here is a picture of an A/C vent. On to the second picture. Is this the correct ashtray for an A/C truck? If so does someone have a picture of the slide mount for it? Where exactly was it located?

Re: A/C Vent & Underdash Ashtray

This is the underdash ashtray that I have at the moment. I was thinking it was for a 64-66 but now I am wondering if it actually for an older vehicle?

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Re: A/C Vent & Underdash Ashtray

hello this is a gm ashtray but it is from the 1950s it is the same ashtray for a 65-66 chevy truck but the handle is different. also to fit on the 65 -66 chevy truck you need the factory bracket to mount to the dash . if you get the bracket and handle it would work for a 65-66 chevy truck . they also used this ashtray in 1964 chevrolets with factory air good luck mike

Thanks for this post.

So would I be correct to assume that this tray is actually for a 1953 / 54 BelAir or truck? That might match with the instruction sheet included with the ashtray, which seems to show an older dash and has '8-53' printed near the bottom.

Re: A/C Vent & Underdash Ashtray

Now that I look at it , it is definately not a 65-66 ashtray. I have 3 of them and on all of them the pull is chrome, not black plastic. You may have to search it off the literature you have or it maybe a generic ashtray from an aftermarket vendor in the 50's or 60's. Rich, do you have the reciever for your ashtray, w/o being near one of my trucks I believe it was just under the radio and there maybe holes drilled from the factory for it.

Re: A/C Vent & Underdash Ashtray

There's a member here on the site (Yelmer) that is an expert on those things. Maybe he can shed some light. I hit him up on some ashtray questions, and he was a wealth of information. The guy knows his stuff.

Re: A/C Vent & Underdash Ashtray

From what I can tell, everything about this tray is identical to the GM tray except maybe the handle. The color even looks correct for the accent color for the stock fawn interior. I am inclined to believe it is of GM manufacture, however I am still a little curious about the build date. I have searched the Internet after starting this thread and have yet to find anything that comes close to looking the same other than a 64-66 tray. Perhaps it was a dealer accessory item that could be installed later? Or, could it be 'correct' for a GMC only?

Re: A/C Vent & Underdash Ashtray

Were the under dash ash trays not shared from the passenger car line as well.

Re: A/C Vent & Underdash Ashtray

I have been told that the '64 Impala cars equipped with A/C have an underdash ashtray that is nearly identical to the Chevy trucks except the handle is different. The black plastic handle doesn't appear like an Impala style. Maybe it's a GMC truck accessory?

Whatever it is, that NOS ashtray that weagle99 has is cool!

Slow Build- Did you get that ash tray out of the truck you got the A/C from? If so, you scored on that thing!!! If it's still installed, you have to go get the slider out of that truck ASAP.

Re: A/C Vent & Underdash Ashtray

Thanks to everyone for the comments. The tray is a little bit of a mystery due to the handle mainly, but it still seems to fit for the 64-66 so I will keep that description. I literally can't find a picture of this tray in any other context.

I sold my truck a couple of years ago but retained a few parts in a box during the meantime. Finally decided the other day that it was time for them to move down the road and be used by other enthusiasts. Hope everything finds good homes.

Mine is much further left than the book shows. It's above the accelerator.
