1977 F150 Heater Core Replacement with AC
#31
Today I pulled out the glove box and vent duct and got a good look in there (sorry should have snapped a picture) and I saw a radiator but it was WAY bigger than the replace heater core I picked up from O'Rielly. I was assuming that was the AC radiator/core. I just dont see where else it would be under there. Also, the distance between the hoses in the picture is identical to the replace heater core, it looks like it would just fit right in that housing.
Yeah, there are two sizes. I have a 78 F100 without AC and it takes the smaller one. Not sure if this helps.

I didn't realize at the time that if would effect EVERYTHING. I want to get this truck on the road. The path of least resistance is to just fix the heat and leave the AC disconnected (could hook AC up someday?). I started taking it all apart today. I haven't got to the blower motor yet. The blower motor resistor heated up cherry red and damn near caught the truck on fire....melted the wire harness too. I'm really surprised the fuse didn't blow before that thing got so hot. I took pictures ...if I can figure out how to post them.
Also I'm in the market for a new blower motor resistor and the wire harness that connects to it. I think I may have tracked them down but I need to get back out to the truck tomorrow and confirm that they are they same.
