[urq] 83 urq - my center air vent is broken, open close level is there but loop in flap is broken.

[Brandon Rogers]

These are easy to replace - and easy to get from boneyards - one or two
carefully place screwdrivers "open" the tabs and it pulls right out.
I've seen multiple versions in brown, I think - a seemingly lower and
higher quality plastic - one is thicker...

FIrst -- i think these center vents had some brown in
them until 1984 and then maybe became all black.  A
nice guy my sell me his center vent out of a 83 4k
4door.  I'll buy it if I can, but am I correct in that
I have to get these out of a pre-1984 car?  ETKA shows
same part # - on 1985 4k but not brown color (NLA
brown so dropped from ETKA?). 
Is the center vent hard to replace - as in dash
removal?

The left loop (to which the open close lever engages)
in the oval flap behind the vent is broken.  There is
by the way an identical loop on the right side.  This
oval flap I imagine is cannot be replaced without
cracking something.
