Thanks for researching, Bill. I'm waiting on a call back for the cable. Unfortunately, I just called Griesel and they no longer have the ****..sigh. Hopefully another one will surface. Or I'd be willing to use the C1TF18534A "heat" **** instead of "temp," if it would fit the same. Any idea?

 

C1TF-18534-A .. **** - Marked: HEAT / Obsolete

1961/66 F100/1100.

HIGH BUCK! BOB ALLEN FORD in Overland Park KS has 3 = 913-381-2999.

 

If he's the only one left with any I'd wonder how much he wants - gotta at least call and ask...


.

 

Prepare yourself for sticker shock, this snake wants MEGA BUCKS for obsolete parts!

 

Just called and he said he doesn't have them! Either these guys don't like me or I'm hot on the tail of someone else buying them up for Ebay...

 

Web page probably hasn't been updated, typical for rearcounter.com

The thing is kiddo, you're "late to the party" cuz at one time, dozens of both ***** were available NOS from multiple sources.

 

Just kidding around, I figured. Thanks for investigating for me, Bill.

 

I got caught up in something else but did call also and he said the same. Probably wondering why the rush on the *****...

I'll give it some time and see if I can source anything. Sent out a handful of requests to some junkyards. If not, I'll have to get creative and make something work!

 

These two ***** marked HEAT & TEMP were used with the deluxe 1961/66 fresh air heaters.

Their two cables are located on a bracket underneath the dash to the right of the steering column.

 

Right, that much I did learn from the numerous threads on the subject. My truck does NOT have the deluxe heater controls, only the fan "pull for heat" **** on the dash which is connected to the internal flap on heater box. BUT...the in-line water control valve IS installed on my line-in to the heater core. I'd like to make it controllable from inside the cab, hence why I'm trying to get the cable/****. I expected it to be a bit of a project hooking it up under the dash (home-made bracket, etc.) but now it's not looking likely that I'll source that TEMP or HEAT ****. So maybe I'll get the original cable for $50 and rig up a different ****, or I could rig up the whole thing with a different cable altogether.

 

Trucks without the deluxe fresh air heater have a manually (hand) operated heater water shut-off valve.

1965/66 is C5TZ-18495-A which is obsolete, but Green Sales has it.

This valve is spliced into the inlet to heater core heater hose as is the C3UZ-18495-A cable controlled heater water valve.

For a ****, you could use this: C1TF-17513-A .. Wiper & Heater **** that's reproduced, matches the dash *****. Attaches w/a set screw.

 

I have two of the C1TF-18534-A in the Ford plastic bags - as opposed to paper envelopes - and they have never been opened - but these two don't say anything on them in the center of the insert. So, at some point they might have stopped trying. The ones I have that say TEMP and HEAT are all over the place as far as the size of the lettering, clarity, etc. so it must have been a bi*** to make them. And possibly why they aren't being reproduced yet.

Mac's catalog has them for $6.95 each part #s 48-34200-1,2,3 pg. 213 Although they don't show "TEMP" or "HEAT" on the inserts. They show a boatload of ***** in their catalog, too.

Also have choke cables that could probably be rigged up to work. Universal 48-18069-1 $12.95

 

The thing I hate about the original ***** - almost all of them - is they always seem to turn chalky white after a while - clean the crap out of them - a little while later they are chalky again. I've heard others complain about a similar/same problem. Are the reproductions under the same spell? One would hope not.
