heater box control cables

68 442, non air, I've got a broken cable on the cool-warm control slider that connects to the inner heater box, and the other cables are stiff.
Where can I get new ones if possible? Also are the defrost vent tubes available anywhere?
I've looked online but I may be calling these parts by the wrong names....any help....
Thanks, Ben

If all that's broken is the inner wire, that's easily repaired if you can find a dealership with an older parts department. We used to have a kit with wire and a tool to make the end coils. kit also included casing and some end clamps if needed.
Probably got thrown away when we moved, I should have grabbed it!
Such a kit is likely available aftermarket.

If you wish to consider pre-tested cables, call me @ nine zero five 775 OLDS.
