Bulbs are all burnt out or gone. Fuse blown if it has one or dimmer part of switch is gone or broken. Seen many over the years with curly coil totally gone.

How many bulbs are in the dash and where do you get them?
Also, right blinker dash arrow works but left one doesn’t. Is that the same type of bulb?
A few screws and the whole unit pops out of the dash. Bulb sockets pop out of the back. Common bulbs at the parts house. Easy to count them - less than 2 hands of fingers.

All the same bulbs in dash as PwrWgnDrvr noted. Should be no problem finding at a good automotive or Truck parts store.

For the heater control depending on the type that you have in the truck you could have the one with the cable operated defrost, or the one with the manual opener down by the passengers feet. The heater inside is a simple ball valve which could be frozen so DO NOT PULL as hard as you can. You will break the eyelets off ruining the cable. Pull the heater core out its a simple job, little bit of a mess. Free the cable off of the heater control valve. Try to push it forward and back, if you can't try some penetrating oil, slowly work it back and forth, for both the cable and ball valve. If ball valve can not move remove from the heater core. Spray the inside of the ball valve with penetrating oil try to work it. If it gets free clean it so your coolant doesn't become contaminated.
Obviously when removing the heater core you will have to drain the coolant. Depending if the cab vents are stuck in the down position this can make removal tricky however not impossible.
For the fresh air intake for the drivers side up under the cowl. You will have to look under your dash almost at the top of dash board. These are probably rusted in place again DO NOT FORCE THEM TO MOVE you will snap the cable. Spray these vents with some penetrating oil, take your hand and try to move them up and down. If you get some movement more oil, more up and down. They should break free. For the passengers side it would have been hidden by the heater core. Same process.
Plan on it taking an afternoon, with the occasional coffee break, swearing the heater core, lunch ect.
