As it has been documented on these pages, the Longhorn is not going yet, and the fundage isn't there to do anything either.
The heater controll in the GMC is just there for looks, no knobs on it at all. There is a toggle switch to tunr the blower on and off, and to select defroster or heater, I have to move the lever on the heater box its self. To adjust the heat selection, I have to reach under the dash and pull the back 1/2 of the heater face plate out (it's broken into 2 pieces) and slide the broken arm over to get the desired heat.
The one in the Longhorn is perfect. It has all the arms, a good switch, and a good resister too.
I could pull these parts out of the longhorn and into the GMC, but that'll be one more thing to swap over come drive time on the Longhorn. Also, as my dad said, if I do that, it'll be real easy to justify taking something else off of it to put on the GMC, then where would it stop?
What do y'all think? Swap, or deal with the PITA heater in the GMC as a reminder that i need to get to work (in NO shop) on the Longhorn?
