Heater Core replacement

I have a 1955 F-100 and the heater core has numerous leaks near the bottom. Does anyone know of a source for a replacement unit. I have checked at my local Napa, JC Whitney, LMC and NPD with no luck so far.

try local rad shops may be able to repair or recore. older rads and heater cores were much easier to repair than newer ones. good luck. P.R DOUGLAS

Mid Fifty's in Arizona sells them. My is leaking as well in my 55'. I was fortunate to buy a used GOOD one for 1/2 of Mid Fifty's cost. There are some at Napa that are close but you will have to modify.
