I rebuilt the heater controls for my 60 GMC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Made a little progress on my GMC this week. The heater control levers were broken and with x-mas right around the corner buying new ones would be out of the question. So I got to thinking, I work in a machine shop and should be able to figure something out with the scrap we have here. So I found some 7075 scrap and got to work. I left the ends a little long so I can figure out what to do for the knobs and after I got that assembled I took apart the switch and cleaned it up and got it moving again. Here's some pics:

Next on the list is to free up the cables and get the rest of the heater working.
