1949 F1 Heater core wanted

We are looking for a heater core for this same heater box. Someone, I am not pointing the finger, took it out and tossed it away thinking that he could get a new one. Any assistance will help him out.

Any ideas if anyone makes an aftermarket replacement core, or has a good used core. Alternatively, once I get it cleaned out anyone know of a good "mechanic in a can" product to try and plug up the leaks- heater core only, wont put it in the engine.

Those are tough to find. You can use a mid to late 40s international heater and swap tubes. Its not quite as thick, but can be made to work.
