1985 Pickup Heater/Vent control broke: Fix??
 
My 1985 pickup cannot select vents or "Cold" or "Hot" with the slider controls. The levers just flop around. I opened the dash to take a look, the pivit point is snapped off. Looks like the base is still there though :great:
How do I fix this? New controls or tap and die the pivit point? Anyone been in my shoes on this?
Thanks, in advance.

i tried to fix mine and ended up braking it more, its alot easyer to find an old truck somewhere and take one out because there expensive to buy

It's cold every morning here too, so I just reached in and pulled the cables to "warm" and "defroster" Later on in the day when the sun start to warm things, I just open the wind wing (old school!) and vent the hot air out.
In the Spring I guess I'll open it all up again and pull the cables back to "cold" "vent".:hillbill:

I just replaced, it was relatively easy. The hardest part were the cables, but overall easy. Find one at the junk yard or the local toyota yard.

I was thinking that there could be a way to use a newer dial type selector, have'nt tried it but would like to......
