71 Custom,
The heater A/C control's have this design problem of breaking the top lever. It can be repaired with a replacement lever.
Some of the vendors even carry a replacement lever that is made of steel.
There is also a kit which contains all three levers.
NOS GM control units go for around $125.00
Good used ones around $25.00

If your control unit is in good condition and only the broken lever syndrome, I would rebuild it with the stronger levers.
A used one that is not broken has a good chance of breaking in the near future.

Just my .02 cents worth

Have fun
