Heater Question

Just saved this 77 F250 Camper Special from the scrap yard. Runs a little rough, dealing with that right now, when it is running good it drives even better!




The entire heater box and A/C is missing and I want to know where the best place to find one would be? Also, it looks like A/C was installed by someone and it was all taken out, I say that because there is a hole cut in the dash that does not look stock and a plastic vent with two switches hanging out of the hole. Id like to continue to get all of that operational, but I need the main heater first. I browsed ebay and some stock part websites, but I get flooded with heater core info and cant seem to locate a good place to find what I need.

I can't tell what part of the world you're in, but what about a salvage yard with a complete donor vehicle?

I live in Washington state, all the yards in my area do not have older vehicles. I posted on craigslist asking for a parts truck but no luck.

Show us the hole in your dash.

Here is how to post pic's on FTE

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ure-guide.html

Here is one way by "Axracer"

Do you have digital pix of your truck from digital camera or phone on your computer?
If so it is easy to add them to a post (assuming the file is not too large). Find the
pic on your computer and leave it open while you come here in another window. Compose
a post, click where you want the pic to appear in the post. Click on the picture icon
at the top of the posting box (looks like a postcard with mountains and sun) A dialog
box will open asking if you want to drag a pic onto the box or browse your computer to
find it. If you have the pic open, go there, right click anywhere on the pic and chose
copy from the menu. Come back to your post and right click on the box. Select paste from
the menu. Your picture should appear (it may take a few seconds to load) in the box. Now
left click on the insert button.
If the stars all aligned your picture should now be in your post window. Select post to
have it appear on the forum or repeat to add more pix. Some cameras make huge files these
days that are larger than the forum limits. You may need to resize or resample the picture
and save the smaller file version with whatever picture editing software came with your
picture taking device before you can post it.


If you are a supporter than just right click on an image from anywhere like Facebook
or whatever. Than left click in your post and paste it in. So simple even a monkey
could do it.

Oh! and welcome to FTE and the old truck madness.

Not sure why you can't see it, but my first post has a picture of my truck. I'll get one up of the hole and the spot where my heater needs to be. Thanks
