the '80+ heater dials, etc. look much better than the '78-'79. But, since the knobs seem much different, is it very viable to swap the control units on the dash without a major rehaul?
Thanks!

Highly doubtful.. Maybe you could swap in an entire late-model dash?

i have to disagree, the pre-facelift dash looks much better then the post-. however if you can find 1977 controls, the sliders are much nicer then the 1979's.

I have had both old and newer HVAC controls. Never had any issues with the older style. The newer style I have had cables come loose behind the panel and plastic parts break requiring creative fixing. I think the older style controls are more robust and reliable.
