Thanks dan-pa,
That's definitely what I'll do is get a control valve at an auto parts store if I can't get the original one fixed. I would like to keep it as original as possible if I can. Do you know if the valve gasket that classic parts has is the one that keeps any water from coming out of the valve into the cab?
Here's the address of the part I'm speaking of: http://www.classicparts.com/1947-66-Heater-Control-Valve-Seal/productinfo/68%2D191/
Thanks again,
