Re: Heater controls Need some help
Check out the BB vendors.They will have a kit with everything to rebuild yours.It's upgraded to steel levers so they last much better.Take the cables out and clean/lube them while you're at it and you'll have great working/looking controls with good function.I clamped then end of the cable,shot it with some PB Blaster and worked it a bit,then I tossed them in an oil drain pan with old oil in it.That was 15 years ago.I usually spray them with Graphite lube a couple times a year.

Re: Heater controls Need some help
I put the steel lever kit in my truck after one of the original aluminums broke. It is not a good product, the levers are thin and crappy, the bushings/spacers are cheap Chinese junk and the knobs are crap plastic. The way to fix it right is to get some original levers and just clean and lube the cables. I guarantee you will be highly disappointed if you buy the kit.

Re: Heater controls Need some help
I bought a kit from Classic Parts and am very happy with it. It has steel levers that won't break like the original cast levers. I didn't care for the plastic knobs so I used my originals, they fit right on the new levers.

Re: Heater controls Need some help
My top lever broke the other day. Not sure if its the cable or the lever. I'll look at it next spring. I want to get vintage air anyways so I'll need the AC control unit anyways. Can I get an AC control panel and temporarily hook it up with my existing heating system? I currently have no AC.

Re: Heater controls Need some help
The stock heater control panel uses the cable to turn the fan on/off. The AC panel has a fan switch to perform this job. The rest should work fin though. I guess u could take it apart and flip it on and off by hand though.
