Ford dealer part only, but are now obsolete.
With single or dual fuel tanks? With Hi/Lo Comfort vent system?

Its a single tank. Not sure what the Hi/Lo comfort vent is, sorry. It has a 4 position blower on the left (vertical) and heater lever along the top (horizontal) and a lower lever which says OFF, Heater, Defrost on the bottom.
Sorry I should get a picture. In looking around I think its part 18549

18549 (and 18531) is the Ford basic part number, but when the prefix and suffix are added giving the complete Ford part number, there are several different types.

Your parts selection for a heater panel can include the newer trucks. I snagged this heater panel out of a newer truck, and slightly modified it (the four plastic mounting posts needed to be shaved down) and re-wired the fuel tank selector switch to follow the Front/Rear labeling.
