Broken heater control levers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a '77 Chevy stepside. The selection lever for the heater defrost is broken off. Does anyone sell a repair kit? If not who has the best deal on a replacement control panel?

If you re talking about the lever on the dash, I just paid $38 for a new AC Delco part at a local auto parts store. Maybe yours uses the same piece, or maybe it is available as well. Or maybe not...

I have a heat only truck and replaced the entire heater control assembly unit (in dash) for around $30.00 from a local GM dealer.
The heater control cables werent easy to find, local dealer said they have been discountinued. Chevy Duty has someone making them for them. I tried to buy a set, but they couldnt give me any time frame on how long it would take.
If you are talking about the lever thing that actually opens and closes the door for heat and defrost I think if you get that stuff out of the truck, you could easily see the problem and fix it. That under the dash heater stuff isnt very complicated. I only have expierence in my not a/c truck though, real simple and easy stuff.
