Wheezy's lil red truck.
Hey I have a 69 chevy half ton, with out a/c, however the rivets that hold the face plate to the switch houseing came loose. Does anyone have a quick fix or know where I can get one? I already tryed JB weld but that didnt work at all.

It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what you meant...  .. This is a common problem with the heater control panel. They can be repaired but the best solution is to replace it. If you can't afford to replace it I have drilled all the way through where the rivets are, countersunk the holes in the faceplate and installed small flat head machine screws. Not pretty but functional...Here is a thread on this type of repair. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=190222 LockDoc

Re: Wheezy's lil red truck.
Some of the vendors on the board should have rebuild kits for the heater controls. These include a new overlay that covers the repair that LockDoc described. These kits are well worth the money. They also have in them; New steel levers, and a new switch. I rebuilt mine several years ago, and it still looks and works great.

Re: Wheezy's lil red truck.
I repaired mine buy drilling & tapping the back side were the levers are mounted,i think i drill the mounts a little deeper to tap the four mounts with a 2-56 or 6-32 tap,it's been a few years since i repaired it,used blue loctite on the screws & flat washers on the screws,still working good
