HEY
The previous owner either replaced the heater core or removed the housing. But normally there is that sticky stuff around the inlet and outlet to seal the box. Does anyone know where I can get that or a subsitute material?

Is this an A/C truck?

It's not an A/C box.

3M caulk strips work for sealing the box to the firewall and can be used for sealing other parts of the box.
