A/C- Heater Control Head

My wife has a 1981 F100 step-side w/single gas tank. This means that the control head does have the fuel tank select switch.

The control head for the A/C and heater/defrost has gone bad. The electrical switch for the A/C clutch AND the vacuum selector switch are both shot.

Does any one have one they would like to sell, or can you point me to some place where I can buy new or good used at a reasonable cost? The Ford dealer in this town has a lock on parts and charges an arm and a leg.

I also need both sliding door-lock controls.

Thanks,

Maybe your local junk yard has one. I have theory that maybe mustangs switches can be used for it. A theory

A/C- Heater Control Head

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-Nov-02 AT 09:38 PM (EST)]I tried all the junk yards around here, with no luck.

If it were just the vacuum switch that was bad (it is removable from the control head), I could probably find one off of some other Ford model that would work. But, since the electrical switch for the A/C compressor is bad and can't be removed, I need the whole control unit.
