Hmmmm, whatever it's from, it sure works great!! The guy I bought it from was a guy I worked with while I was working at the local auto wreckers. He retro fitted a bunch of crap onto this truck from other vehicles. Good thing I'm no purist when it comes to these trucks

I have 2 spare factory 67-72 heater controls in my spare parts box. So if this one does crap out, it's an easy change. Plus I don't drive my 72 in the winter. It's strictly a summer toy

My first thought was Olds also. Wish I could send you about 20 degrees of the summer we're having here right now Tim!

I would guess something out of an early 60's Fury. The slider arms in the 67-72 heater/fan controls are really fragile, must have a lot of lead in them. I had to mix n' match parts from 3 units before I finally got it all together and working.
