Looks like the heater control is out of a 1970 Challenger with the standard dash.

ding ding ding ding ding...... we have a winner. 70 it is. its what was in the car when it came in. so it went back in. it can be changed anytime so its no biggie. its gotta have one but it'll be ok for now. good eye.

I saw the same thing. Also appeared to be left "as is". Surface is not restored to match the piece on the right.

Nice progress.

just too easy to get one thats right later to warrant working this one that hard. and someone else may need this one later.
