    i have a '65 C-10 stepside that had no heater...i found
    a '65 standard heater (with 1 knob that pulls & turns)
    my problem is...where does the defroster hoses hook
    to the heater...i know that the other end hooks to the
    vents on top of dash......thanks, glenn

    The hoses connect to the defuser box below the dash. It has a handle that you throw to select defrost or heat. The control knob you describe is for the Thrift Heater. The knob controls the heat, ( by pulling out on the knob), and the 2 speed blower, ( by turning the knob.).

    If you are still missing the defuser box, check e-Bay orthe local wrecking yards.
