Fan Control Switch

I need a new fan blower control switch for my 71 CST Blazer. Everywhere I go to get a new one, the only thing offered is a switch like lever. The one that came with my blazer is a knob that turns, very similiar to the windshield wiper knob. It appears to be stock, but if so, why isn't it offered anywhere?
Thanks
-Tim

After taking the knob/switch out of the dash (it is placed to the right of the heater/vent levers) and looking at it, it is made by Cole Hersee. Anyone know if this means it was stock or an aftermarket add on?

It must be an add on as the heater switches for the blowers are the lever type. (Both AC and heater only are lever type switches).

Do you have AC or just the heater setup?

I'm guessing that switch was originally for a dealer-installed dual fuel tank system, and the switch was the Tank Selector. Some PO adapted it to a new use. Where to get a new NOS one, God knows?

It's a non AC truck. My heater/vent control doesn't even have the stock vertical lever control. Pretty strange...

The non-AC heaters have the switch internal to the levers. The middle lever moves the blower switch when you push the lever to the right.
