Re: 1972 Heat is always on!
For a cleaner look just get a heater control valve for an early Bronco (66-77) and install a choke cable control and voila! Perfect fix. Glad this was resurrected, I have a couple of spares from my Bronco stash and will install one in my K10....

Re: 1972 Heat is always on!
No more so than Chinese knock-off parts is my way of looking at it! This probably is anyways so look at it that way....

Re: 1972 Heat is always on!
That explains the cut off valve I see on so many heater hoses!
I like ball valves....I am slowly replacing every valve in my house with one. I have my heater core out right now, when it goes back in both hoses will have a ball valve. Thanks guys! |

Re: 1972 Heat is always on!
Why not install a vacuum valve like the AC trucks have and throw a simple vacuum switch someplace in the cab? Turn the heat on and off with the flip of a switch? May have to run a few feet of vacuum hose but other than that should be simple.
