Heater box removal

Hello! I recently removed my heater core in my ‘64 f100 because it was leaking. I believe it has the standard heater. I have now decided to clean my floor/firewall and paint with POR15. I also would like to install the firewall cover from LMC and begin installing insulation.

I am having trouble locating any bolts to remove the heater assembly. I can see one bolt on the drivers side, and possibly two nuts behind the battery.

Any advice to help remove the box would be appreciated!

That is my recollection as well. Fine threaded and surely rusty.

Hey CJ, here's a link to my video where I pulled the box out for a rebuild. There are 3 studs that go through the fire wall and 1 bolt. I point them out in the first 4 minutes if you don't want to watch the whole video. Good luck. ~Pat

I have actually watched many of your videos! I find them to be incredibly informative.

Thanks everyone for the replies! I located the bolts and plan to pull the box soon. I'm in no rush because it will take some time to replace or repair the heater core. Does anyone have a spare laying around? If the shop can't fix mine then I will be in the market for another.
