cant even count the number of times this was the case at work with our fleet of buses. just like the darn headlight switches
Resistor pack... where?

99% of the time it's just corroded terminals at the connex.

I must have missed something, but did you guys say that for the 80-86 trucks the resistor is inside the cab?
Both my 86 trucks have it at the under hood location.
I agree with the connector problem, but sometimes the springs - I mean - "resistors" can break off or get corroded on the fiberglass resistor pack itself.
The things are so crude, you could probably make a new one from scratch, let alone repair the original.

My 85 doesn't have AC. Blower Resistor is under the hood.
Night Moose is a 93?
My 93 Blower Resistor is under the hood also

Does your non-a/c '85 have a similar air box assembly to your '93 (I assume your '93 has a/c)?
My early '84 (built August '83) with factory a/c has the resistors under the hood, between the blower motor and the a/c evaporator (which IIRC is the same location that all a/c trucks had it up to '97). I don't know how long this lasted, but in '83 and '84 at the very least, the non-a/c trucks had a completely different air box assembly from the a/c trucks. For example, according to my shop manual, replacing the heater core on a non-a/c 1984 truck is a MUCH more involved process than the simple job on an a/c truck, and the heater cores are even different part numbers. I think the shape is a bit different, and the heater hose nipples come out at a different angle.
FWIW...
