The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread

I had to send my repop heater core out and get the tank swapped. The lines coming out were at wrong angle and to short. On the positive side it now has a GM part# on the core.

What documentation did you use to determine what heater hose clamps are used? It seems that most, if not all, of the pics of "original" trucks I've seen have the spring clamps on the heater core but I've also seen spring and tower styles on the engine end of the hoses. Never have found a definitive answer yet.

My 62 had all spring clamps.

You could look at Lambrect reference thread maybe?

Yeah, the Lambrecht thread throws another wrench into the research. One of the 6 cyl pics shows a side bolt clamp design on the 3/4" hose at the water pump!

I wonder if 6's and V8's were different... I wouldn't be surprised if the years were different too.

damnyankee , theres plenty of documentation in the form of original trucks to get you to the point of , no judge could find you wrong. Not knowing what Year truck your referring to OR what assembly plant makes it difficult to help you . You have to take into account the fact that Heaters were also a dealer installed option , ALL of these factors are KEY to understanding those details. Research on your end is whats key , knowing your truck and how it was ordered and outfitted by the dealer is important to understanding what and why went where. The assembly manual , accessory installation manual , heater accessory installation instructions ALL show these details but again , what year are you working on ???
