as far as the no heat, your heater core may be plugged up, not allowing a lot of heat transfer. you can flush the heater core out and see if that helps.

Change your thermostat to a 195 degree. My SB truck needs a 195 to make heat with that big 4 core radiator in there.

Why are you running a 160 T-stat?

Switch to at least a 180 thermostat. There is really no reason to run a 160 on the street.
As far only getting defrost, you need to pull off your glovebox and check the defroster/temp door cable.

Take a pic of your heater box in the engine compartment and one of your heater control switch so we can see what you're dealing with since it's a tampered system. I agree on a 195° T-stat. Is the vacuum hose hooked up to the vacuum reserve cannister and is there a supply of manifold vacuum to it?
