Very cool. I'm building my 70 K10 to be a DD work truck. One of the few things I hate about older rigs, is the slide controls for the heater. I pulled the rear heat controller and servo motors out of my 93 suburban, and adapted it.




I designed a new face, and cut it out on the waterjet.

Found some simple black knobs from Stillen, and filled the cutouts and holes in the face with translucent acrylic so the light will shine through it. The button on the left is for my glowplugs.


The turbo on my diesel sits right where the stock heater core housing is, so I adapted a 73-87 non-AC heater unit.

The internal unit worked well too with just a few mods.
