Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
That is one clean truck. A buddy of mine growing up had the exact same truck. What are planning to do with the 'ol 6 and 3 speed?
They ain't fast and gas mileage ain't too good either, but their bulletproof. By the looks of how well it's been maintained, you almost got a turnkey project. good luck - looking forward to the progress. |

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Well, I gave it a shot and it bit me in the @ss. I replaced my heater core last weekend, new core and seals, cleaned out the leaves and crap. Buttoned it up and... It leaks worse than the original heater core! I give up, I'm going to pull it all out and cover the firewall holes until I can afford a vintage air system.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Curious what is leaking????
I had to do this a year or two ago and while it was a PIA, everything matched up as it should. I only had to use rope caulk around the circumference of the box and new core.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I'm surprised. I just picked one up at the local Oreilly's and while it was lighter in weight/quality of material, it seems to function as expected.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Don't give up on replacing the heater core just because you got a bad replacement part have them order in another one and do it again.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I agree with Xeen. Get a new part, it's the time of year where heaters are good to have. Even here in Florida!
