I really dont know what to call it but i need the complete switch set for the dash to control the heater / blower / temp etc 1979 F100, no AC. Any ideas if these are sold aftermarket or something?

 

They are pretty easy to come by used.

 

I'm looking but cant find anything - sigh

 

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.

 

perfect, seems its a D9TZ-18549-E based on description. Thanks so much.

Now just gotta find one

 

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.

Attachment 289935

 

Without dual fuel tanks, without Hi/Lo Comfort Vent System (Deluxe Heater Vent).

1978 F100/350 from serial number CA0,001 / 1979 F100/350.

WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has 1 = 606-787-5293.

 

I found this one and its $117 + shipping. Now seeing based on feedback if I can get something cheaper. Cheers
