Heater core replacement

Hey everyone! I got in the truck this morning and noticed some antifreeze on the floor underneath the heater.

Any recommendations on finding a new one or what can be easily fabricated to fit?

Thanks in advance,

CJ

For a '64? They are pretty much unobtanium. Sometimes they can be repaired, if not too bad, at a radiator shop. Commonly available heater cores can be modded a little bit and made to work. Here is a thread at FTE started by @HAMS64 that shows how it's done.

Yes I completely forgot to mention it is a 64 f100 with a 292 and 3 speed on the column. Thanks so much!
