1950 Heater Core Help
Hello everyone. I'm new here, and new to F1's. I hope I am posting on the right thread. I have searched on here, but not found the information I am looking for.
I recently bought a 1950 Ford F1. Older restoration, but in good condition overall.
289, Automatic, Air. Very nice truck. It had been sitting under a carport for a while but it does run. It has a few bugs, but nothing major.
I need to replace the heater core, but cant seem to identify it. Can any of you help? Im pretty sure its not a Magic Air.
Heater
Heres my heater core. Is this avalible for sale anywhere? I have searched to no avail.
Thanks in advance.

Fixing an original part is always the best solution. Try to keep out of the cold the next couple of days.

Looks just like my core. The case work looks slightly different than mine. I believe my heater was a Firestone brand heater. I just am finishing restoring my heater box and core. I re-soldered my seams on the core and leak tested the core. Make sure your blower motor and wires are good while its apart. Mine had a rusted motor brush spring. I rebuilt the motor (wires, springs brushes).

I did a quick google search for Firestone Ford Heater and ran across this post on here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...e-heaters.html
