Heater Control Cables
I was wondering what everyone does for the heater cables. The cables for the Left and Right Air vent doors in the kick panels. I think I could buy the choke cable out of LMC. I want the original '57-'60 black plastic *****. Are there replacement cables somewhere or no? Mine were all rusted off or siezed up.
These *****:
Thank You

There are two types heater cables, as it depends on which heater the truck has: fresh air or recirculating.

1957/58 ***** are black, 1959/60 ***** are white. The vent cables (1957/58 is different from 1959/60) have nothing to do with heater cables.
There are two types heater cables, as it depends on which heater the truck has: fresh air or recirculating.

I'm just guessing you might have a very early production truck. I've ran into a lot of Fords over the years with the wrong parts. I always attribute it to running production changes. They just used up what they had before they started using the new, or sometimes ran out of the old and started using the new. I had a very late production 72 F-250 (Aug 72) and had to use 73 parts a few times to find the right fit. I know the master cylinder for sure and something with the driveline maybe, it was 25 years ago and I don't remember everything.

I was wondering more or less if there were reproductions of these somewhere. Or if one could buy a new universal cable and swap out the ****.

I think the cables you're looking for are on this link towards the bottom. I haven't bought anything from this company (John's F-Fun Hundreds in Pomona, Ca.) and haven't read anything about them....is anyone familiar with them? Here's the link:

Ive never dealt with them myself..I do remember trying to go to their store in the middle of the afternoon and the door being locked... but since theres no pics or details about the part...plus since its the same price as a universal cable I would be scratching my head wondering...
Also, given the RH cable assy is a lot longer then the left I would think it would be a different price as well.
just my .02...
