There are deluxe heater controls, (shown here) https://www.americanclassic.com/1955-59-Deluxe-Heater-Control-Assembly-w_-switch-Chevrolet/productinfo/68%2D478/
There are cables that go from the heater control to the heater itself. That valve controls the hot water flow through the heater core (as well as onto the floor in a lot of cases!) | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | What year truck?
What does the front of the heater look like?
There were different styles of GM "deluxe" heaters, with different controls.

I looked back at Stooby's older posts and a 1956 model was indicated in one of them.
Stooby - you might want to post year/make/model in each post - but it looks like 69Cuda has you covered.

Basically, large wide rubber bands! One between blower housing and heater box, and a narrower one between the blower and kick panel.
