Has anybody ever,,,?!

Ok,, my "new 77 F250 4x4/400/NP435/4.10" Maximus/Optimus,,, the heater core was not heater coring,,, i.e. NO HEAT,,, so I was going to flush it,,, outlet pipe came off,,, it has AC,,, sooo,,,, was wondering if anyone has cut the box in the engine compartment around the heater core and pulled it out and taped it back up? Yes, I know,, lazy way, but he is a hunting woodcutting truck, and not worried about unmolested stuff,,, just wondering!
really not looking forward to pulling it all out,,,

Not that hard of a job to change it even with A/C. I don't see any reason to cut up the box to do so, you still need it to be in good shape to provide heat.

Why not take the a/c box and all that stuff out and just put a reg heat and vent box in with a easy to access heater core and blower motor? Since its a hunting woodcutting truck?

I have read a thread on here where a guy cut the rivets on the outer metal plate jerry rig removed the blower motor and fan and then removed the heater core and then put it back together. Maybe it is in the threads below?
