Heater Vacuum Selector Switch

Heater Vacuum Selector Switch
Hello all,
I have recently been to Crazy Ray's here in Baltimore, MD and have acquired a vacuum selector switch for my 1980 Ford F100 because mine has a major vacuum leak. The switch I picked up from Crazy Ray's is out of a 1982 Ford E-150 van with a 302, however I can't find anything on the vacuum selector switch for the van to determine if they will interchange. If anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Didn't have to look hard, the first clue is on that pic above where the text underneath it specifies it's for 80-86 trucks & Broncos (the U) no mention of vans (would be E).
Looking at the van pictures, apparently that control is made up of several sub-assemblies whereas it's a complete, standalone unit in the trucks.
So, will it work for you? I dunno, try it and see. Might be able to compare colors of vacuum lines, or maybe somebody else might chime in with more specific info....

It could just use different part numbers because they are designed for different vehicles. The control assembly between the vans and trucks themselves are identical, only difference being that on the vans with dual fuel tanks, there was a completely seperate selector switch, whereas on the trucks it was on the right of the assembly and the Bronco's used them for the rear window switch. Hold up an assembly from a single tank truck with one from an Econoline, there will be no differences, or at least very minimal.
Edit: If you look at the assembly numbers in the above pictures, the switch assembly is #19980 in both.

19980 is the Ford basic part number for the A/C heater control panel for EVERYTHING! Passenger Cars, Trucks, Bronco's, Econolines, Aerostars, Bronco II/Ranger and etc., etc., etc.
The heater only control panel is Ford basic part number 18549
From 1965 thru today, everyone of those A/C vacuum control selector valves is basic part number 19B888
What most peeps don't realize is...that Ford basic part numbers have been the same for decades. Adding the prefix and suffix gives the complete part number.
And, only basic part numbers are shown in illustrations, the text section is required to get the complete part number.
The 1980/89 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog is available on a CD from hipoparts.com. This is the same catalog that Chris (ctubutis) scanned and posted the pics from.
I'm using this catalog on FoMoCo microfiche slides. See my signature, I didn't start doing this jazz yesterday: Ford partsman 1962/97.
Since 11/04/2006, I've typed over 37,000 posts. At least 80% have a part number (or more) typed in them. I also search for obsolete parts for FTE members, post the sources that have them and the contact info.

I stand corrected, you really do learn something new everyday! Anyhow, I'm not sure what's supposed to be the difference between the two (if there is any), but I've had to do this swap myself in the past and they are indeed "the same"... as in they will interchange, mount the same, function as they should, etc. I'm not sure myself why they weren't just listed as the same part, but of course this particular area isn't my savvy either...
