Are you sure all the vacuum controls (door motors/vacuum motors) are working?
I have been pulling a cab and motor today, so I have not got a chance to grab you a lever **** yet.
UPDATE:
I now have fully functioning heat! Replaced the switches and also sorted out that the main vacuum line for the A/C controls was disconnected. Reattached that and walla!
Now i need to source some of the black mounting screws (and really a whole climate/radio plate) and start buttoning up the dash. HOWEVER i am getting a whistle/whine from my system at times so might need a new blower motor (which i have already)
One step at a time!
Big thanks to Rich for the advice and parts and to everyone who chimed in!
The climate control and the radio face plates are separate panels. The climate control face plate is held on to the enviro panel frame with 4 melted plastic rivets. The radio plate is held on with the 2 post radio shafts nuts, after you install the dash bezel. They made a earlier (73-75/76?) pot metal one and then later on a plastic one.
I have drilled out the rivets and removed the face plate and mailed it to Germany for a FTE member. His was cacked. So if you do not want a complete enviro panel, just swapping the face plate is an option. What is wrong with yours, cracked?
The metal or plastic radio face plates are hard to find now days. There might be one on Ebay and probably for WAY to much $.
What radio are you using? I will get a couple of the all chrome enviro lever buttons in the mail to you on tue.

I haven't settled on a radio yet, my dash panel was cut (the plastic) to use a single dine modern radio but they did a terrible job. I may actually make a center floor console and use a double din in that. Make a cover plate for the lower radio part and locate my oil pressure and volt meter there once i get it.
My metal piece that goes behind that, the enviro control metal bracket, they bent the radio part upward and back, so it's out of the way but it pushes on everything behind it, Probably why my vacuum plug was pulled off.
Appreciate the ***** friend, if you want something for them just PM me.
I know of the mount bracket you are talking about. Do you need a complete one that has not been cut or bent?
How it should look like with a stock radio.
Yeah mine is basically folded backwards lol. Some people O-O if you have one I wouldn't be opposed to acquiring it from you Thanks for the pictures, maybe i can salvage mine in the mean time. Let me know Rich, maybe i should open a line of credit with you lol
I have one, none bent and none cut. We can discuss it in a PM ok. Can you post up a pic of YOUR face plate and I can see if I have one that matches and can drill the plastic melted pins and put it in the box with the rest. If you want or need to replace the face plate still. And I will include 2 chrome lever *****.
Ok so you have the standard environmental control panel. Tell me again why you want to replace it? Do you really need to?
Oh boy did the PO ever hack that dash bezel (radio position) to almost not enough to easily put a cover plate in. You might have to come up with reinforcement "tabs" on the back side.
I bet with a anvil edge or a square end of a vice you can hammer bend that enviro/radio bracket back in its original flat position, it's worth a try anyway. If it goes badly I do have a replacement.
I have to "work" tomorrow, so can not get the parts in the mail until wed. Or do you want to hold off on the bracket, until you give it a hammer bend try?

Oh i never wanted the enviro control panel, i got confused lol
The dash got mangled in a lot of ways. Also I find it weird that i have the burlwood ranger glovebox but not the dash panel lol
I can try the anvil thing first and let you know
Now i need to source some of the black mounting screws (and really a whole climate/radio plate)
I read this and thought you were talking about the environmental control face plate it self. I see now you mean/meant the enviro/radio mount bracket. No worries, work yours over and holler if you need a part.
