It's an Evaporator Coil from a window/wall shaker A/C that Rube Goldberg got when he was out Dumpster Diving. Kick is he sold it to somebody else for a R&R Heater core.
Is this too much or what?
I guess he didn't have the $35 to buy an aftermarket replacement heater core

Look close at lower left corner, back by the Firewall, you'll see a red, 5/8ths ID Heater hose running behind some sort of a home made looking mounting platform. It appears to be going to the ref coil.
what does bother me, there may not be a heater assy in there, the plenum box, air handler, Blend door, defroster outlets/ducts & that stuff might be gone or broken up.
Might want to keep an eye out for a deluxe OEM Heater assembly, HUH?

alrighty then, i see the heater hose, so if it's a homemade mounting platform, that would mean that i could just take it the heater core, and the mounting plate out and put a replacement one there? but that's only if the truck has all that good stuff that was mentioned. portable beer coller? that would make life better, until i get pulled over, then i'm going to be walking with my portable beer cooler and a little red wagon.
