Agree [unfortunately]. I was hoping that someone had recently repopped the 'Heat only' control for Dodges when snakeoil24 chimed in but I haven't found that to be the case.
 
I'm going to ask a question in he hope that someone smarter than I can answer it... There seem to be a lot of period correct A/C switches available, with that being said if you don't install the A/C selector button and have no electrical connectors on the A/C terminals why wouldn't it work?

Here is my understanding of the switches.
The 1965 and earlier cars had the 4 button: Off, Heat, Defrost, Cool, switch. This is true if you had A/C or not.
If you had the A/C option, then the 4 button assembly contained an additional 2nd internal electrical switch to operate the A/C compressor.
 
That is correct so without connecting the other electrical connectors that are present for the A/C the switch should still work as a standard switch.
 
There is a guy in Texas that rebuilds them completely. I believe his name is Anthony Powell. I'll look up his info. PM me.
