I picked up a 73 Luv a couple weeks ago. Looking things over the other day and noticed that the heater control valve is leaking. I called my local parts store and they didn't show one. Is there a place that sells obsolete parts for Luv trucks? Thanks in advance.

Look at one from a '77 Dodge Ramcharger, see if you can't make it work.

If it turns out to be a workable replacement please report back on the install, the stock heater valves are no longer available.

After I get this one I will have 4!! 2-73s, 74 drag truck and a 78 parts truck that will be going to the scrap as soon as I get some parts off of it. Then I got a lead on where 2 more are at but not sure if they are for sale.
