I know nothing about these, but it looks like there's two screws to remove it and swap it over to the new one.

That part of the A/C control may be a little different from year to year, so it usually needs to match your truck year (82?). It also has a part number on one side, printed in black. I’m not sure if a single year may have had different part number for this part.

So it's not swappable? Or did the OP throw the one in the trash?

I guess I'm confused. You show a pic of the old one. Did you throw it away? Does the lmc part not have the holes for it?

It's the vacuum mixer for controlling hvac doors in the ductwork from defrost to floor heat to face blast. You will need the vacuum accumulator ball under the hood as well.
