Re: temp controller

RH picture looks like you have a chunk of the steel dash and definitely some of the bezel missing where the A/C controls used to bolt in.

In the LH picture it looks like someone completely disassembled the A/C control unit.
If you don't have all the pieces you'll need to find a complete one in a yard.

Left switch is the blower motor switch.
Center??? Does it have a cable attached? If so it might be the temp control.
Left is the Vacuum Mode selector switch. Be careful of those hoses. Be sure to hook them up to the same locations on the new control head and take care not to crunch them up or you'll have leaks.

The 1981 GM Light Truck service manual has a lot on the AC system in Chapter 10.
Schematics are in the back of the service manual.
