1967 deluxe fresh air heater is 1967 only, has 3 ***** that attach to cables.
Two of these ***** were only furnished with the cables.
Temperature control cable (18518) attaches to the heater water valve that is spliced into the inlet to heater core heater hose. When pulled, opens the valve.
Fresh air cable (18552) attaches to lever on heater box, when pulled, allows outside air to enter.
The **** (17513) of the heater blower switch/cable (18578) was available by itself.
Here is the only parts catalog pic that shows these ***** and cables.

Most likely it is actually hooked up, and that is why it won't move. Probably, your heater control valve is stuck.
Open the hood, locate your heater hoses on the passenger side, black rubber hoses a bit more than an inch in diameter.
In one of these hoses will be a valve that your cable is connected to. Pop off the end of the cable from the valve, then try your in-cab handle again.
If it is moving freely, good news, the cable works.
Unfortunately, bad news, you need a new heater control valve.
Good news again, the new valve is usually under $20 from your local parts store.
Hope this helps. I have 2 F250's and an F100...all 3 heater control valves needed to be replaced.

The valve is notorious for getting stuck in the closed, open or partially open positions.

I had the same type of problem with mine, although a little different.
Lubed the wire cable worked it back & fourth and bingo still working great.
Loosen cable from water valve and work cable if it is ez to works easy then,
I'll be eating crow for dinner

Probably.
As a back (shop) parts guy, I passed out many of these valves to mechanics without seeing the originals.
In 1981, replaced the puppy in my '65, it was stuck closed.
It's still available from Ford, even though it was last used in 1972...that should tell you it's been a notorious POS since day one.
80-85% of automakers profit comes from parts sales. If parts don't fail, no profit for automakers.
