U-Haul's dishpac has closed cell boam plate bags.  This is what I used 6-7
years ago; still working fine.  Not positive, but think you can buy the foam
bags seperately.

I would consider the fan along with the heater core. Closed cell foam from a
hardware store or McMaster Carr can take care of the flap seals. If you
really get them to seal you will may get some whistling noises. Of course
you really don't want an air tight van anyway. They should never be fully
closed even when using AC.

Rocky the needy squirrel here.

First off, my apologies to all who were trying to tell me that the
heater box's footwell air control cable cannot be replaced from below.
Graham Janson kindly sent a nice photo showing the problem. I took it
over to the mechanic and he said, "Yeah. The heater valve can be
replaced from below, but the dash has to be pulled to do this one." He
might not be the best at communicating, or I might have missed this, but
the dash has to come out.

Since the dash has to come out, the heater core might as well be
replaced. Who has new? 1984.

And the heater box's flapper things don't close very well, I've heard
that this is caused by rotted foam seals. Are those seals available? Or
can someone point me to how others have jury-rigged their replacements?
Weatherstripping or something?

Thanks all, for the help.
