Sources for 2.5" heater core for a/c truck?

[BigRed76]

Well today I got a copper heater core from advance auto for $32. It was a 2" thick core as they all are, the width was 1/2" less too, but when I installed it in the heater box it still filled the entire opening so there was no air gaps around it. I had to bend the pipes a little to get them lined up, but other than that it fit pretty decent. It seems to put out just as good of heat as the original heater core so I'm pleased with it.

Sorry to resurrect an old post but I'm wanting the same info. Has anyone started making a core that matches oem?

I haven't paid much attention since I installed my heater core in January. I will say that I've been driving the truck pretty regularly for the last few months, since the weather has gotten pretty cold here, and the 2" repro heater core has done just fine. It heats well enough that I have to turn down the heat because I will get too hot, and that's with it being 10 degrees outside.
