1941 Chevrolet truck with super deluxe heater questions

[CAGRacing]

I bought a 41 chevy truck from a friend to rebuild
It's essentially a cab and chassis

In the cab I found this...

Is it factory?
Is it rare or worth keeping?

The truck is equipped with defrost and a heather box that says Chevrolet super deluxe heater. There's two switches that go with it one marked heat with 4 positions and one marked air with 3 positions. The switches say "ark-les made in U.S.A.". Not sure if this was a dealer add on or factory. The holes are perfectly drilled and don't appear to be a hack job at all.

Any info is welcome.

I'm still learning these art deco trucks, but I have seen that heater in these trucks from pics and other forums too. My 1942 1.5 ton does not have a heater and firewall is not punched for the hoses. I've seen like 3 different styles in these 41-46 trucks.
