1964/65 Chevy van Factory Options what were they and does anyone have any information about mine ?

Hello ,
I`m new to this site and want to know if anyone has a list of Factory Options that were available for the 1964/65 Chevy vans that they could share with me. My van has some options that appear to be factory that I`m trying to find some information about. My van has what appear to be Factory front bumper over riders. These over riders are original to the bumper and do not appear to be after market. My van has it`s original 10 bolt 3:36 posi rear end and mounted to the bottom of the rear end it has a flat brace that runs from drum to drum under the center section and appears to be for adding rear end housing strength. My van also has a air conditioning unit that is painted in the same color as the interior color it looks to have been there since the van was new. Lastly does anyone know who the maker of my louvered glass side window is ?? Any help is appreciated and I`ll try and post more pictures later I only have pictures of the front over riders right now. Thank you

Welcome to the site!
Those front bumper parts sure do not look factory!
I'll defer to the Bowtie guys for the rest.
You can find amazing amounts of original factory literature on EBay if you really want the info, but even then stuff got printed before release, so it may be a bit off.

A lot of what you list are dealer installed options, like A/C. The strap on the rear is probably an owner mod, it's common in the off road community.
The louvered windows are an RV item. Hehr made them, but that style has been out of production for quite a while. You might be able to get hardware still.

Thanks for the info guys I love this van I just drove it 200 miles only stopping for gas once, cruised 65mph in100 heat and she never got hotter than 180 degrees she's a great runner. The van has a 292cu in straight six with split headers, offenhauser intake, Carter competition AFB four barrel carb and electronic ignition. The tranny is a full syncro three speed Saginaw three on the tree set up and I have an aluminum radiator. Keep the great info coming and I'll get some new pics up soon.
