Need overhead A/C knob

I know this is a long shot, since I think this piece is pretty rare. I have a '71 burb with the roof A/C that runs the length of the burb. The knob that controls the blower has cracked so it won't turn the switch anymore. Anyone got one, or know where I might find one? I just converted and recharged my system, and the vice grips I am using to turn it on aren't going to cut it for long.

I think I actually figured out a good solution. In case anyone else has this problem, a knob from the stock radios fits perfect and looks good too.

I used a windshield wiper knob.Used a thin metal shim.The shaft on the wiper is slightly larger.

Another option, Radio Shack carries an assortment of knobs with small set screws that will tighten against the shaft.
