Heater Control Question....
Can the heater controls from an A/C truck be used on a non-A/C truck? ('70 stepper). Which cables would I need? I know the switch is different , but I can handle extending the wiring. I really like the separate switch and mine has finally fallen apart.
Anyone? Thanks |

Re: Heater Control Question....
Anything is possible...you need the floor to def cable and the heat on off cable. And the switch

Re: Heater Control Question....
That's kinda what I've been thinking. Which cable set would you buy (mine are shot!)?

Re: Heater Control Question....
Not sure what you're after here ;
The NON AC heater control is dead simple to take apart , clean , polish and lubricate , open up the old fan switch and clean it out , hand polish the copper contacts with brass polish until the shine , lube it with Dielectric Grease then re assemble the whole thing using spare levers from other dead heater controls . I'm not sure how you ruined the cables , if they're frozen just lube them with penetrating oil using a Moto Cycle cable oiler to fee 'em up like new . If you're anywhere near Los Angeles (land of fruits , nut and flakes) I have some spare cables I'll give you ~ bast model, NON AC .

Re: Heater Control Question....
As a long time old car ' enthusiast ' (MEANS : nut) , I've been watching good parts go in the scrap bin my whole life , I hate it and it makes me crazy ~ I always have some old parts lying 'round I'll sell ridiculously cheaply or give away just so I don't have to toss 'em out .
Besides , you're a good buncha folks , helpful and all , one hand washes the other in my book .

Re: Heater Control Question....
Try to use the OEM cables at all cost. The after market cable suck donkey $&@. You will be sorry and soon you'll be looking in the classifieds for OEM cables.

Re: Heater Control Question....
O.K. . . . .
Based on the evidence, I need to re-lube the dragging cables and rebuild the controls. I do however, like the idea of being able to see the switch on the panel. Now, are all the "rebuild kits" the same, or are some better than others. I don't want to have to do it but once. Are the new levers stamped steel or cast?

Re : Heater Control Levers
O.K. , now I get it ~ you want to use the AC control .
Some of the new levers are steel , if you don't take the time to loosen up and lubricate the plenum doors and cables , you'll bend them just as the old pot metal lever snapped when forced .

Re: Heater Control Question....
The other way to do this and get the same oe look is to use a non ad control from a 65-66 caprice/impala. It's is a bolt in and ll you have to do is change the orientation of the bell crank to operate one of the flapper doors if I recall. Haven't seen much posted about the mod the past few years, but I am planning ton doing it for my next driver. I a all about factory light up stuff in the dash I guess
