Hunting parts
If you go in a parts store and ask for a part for a 61 Ford likley you will leave empty handed. The part you need can be fabricated from a ball valve and a couple hose clamps. Used parts at that age are usually a waste of time. Just ask for a mechanical heater control valve. Also many vendors here will have a repro part or a suitable knock off. I have had a ball valve on my truck for over ten years. On in winter/off in summer. IMHO!

Heater control
Thanks William, but I really would like to find a genuine or at least a reproduction of the valve if possible. I'm trying to keep the truck as original as possible except for safety items (ie) Power front disk brakes, radial tires, etc. I was hoping maybe Number Dummy could tell me where to find one. Thaks again, Rob

Deluxe fresh air heater: The valve (B8C-18495-A) is controlled by a cable, bolts to the right fender inner apron. The inlet to heater core heater hose splices into it on either side of the valve.
Manually controlled heater water shut-off valve (FDA-18495-A), mounts on engine / No Ford Dealer or oibsolete parts vendor has any.
Post #4: "Squire" Don gave you two sources for B8C-18495-A / Here are two more sources from the dealer parts locator =
GRIESEL MOTOR CO. in Okarche OK has [B[1[/B] = 405-263-7242.
PIONEER FORD in Groton SD has 1 = 605-397-2311.
Note: LINCOLN OLD PARTS STORE has 4 of these valves.
