I'm working on a 51 F1 for an old fellow who has been taken advantage of by many so called mechanic and body shops . I'm hooking up all the things the other shops claimed they could do but never did. I would load some pics ,but for some reason I am no longer able to . I was hoping to find a source for a new heater core . Trying to keep the cost down . I'm fixing it for him free and he is giving me his left over parts when it's done. There is a core in the heater box . The painter he used never adjusted the doors, the hood , just slopped through, really did a bad job , for tons of money . I'm making it right for him. He is 80 years old and deserves to be treated better.

If it is a firestone style heater I have pics in my truck #2 build of mine in pieces if you need to see how it goes together.
I have seen cores on ebay but I assume used ones leak unless they say they have been tested.

Summit lists a number of heater cores but you would have to know the size of the core and the inlet/outlet specs. A buddy had a core built for his 55 F100, the radiator guy took the OEM tanks off the 55 F100 core and mated them to another new core.
