Not sure about the '55 A/C setup, but alot of the body metal was carried over from the '54 model year. In '54, the A/C unit was mounted in the truck and the air blew up from the back deck through some of those holes.

Also there is a rare factory option for a rear window defroster. This was basically a small unit which consisted of an electric heating coil with blower fan that mounted in one of those holes.

A NOS one of these showed up on ebay about a year ago and was bid into the high $400s before it was all said and done. Lets just say that I was not the high bidder that day.

Perhaps the V8 guys can fill in more infomation.
