Replaced my heater core today...
Hey y'all! Replaced the heater core in my '72 today and found a nice little surprise:
Some friendly bees decided that it was a great place to make a beehive! So that's why whenever I turned on the fan a whole bunch of crap flew out everywhere.  Anyway, the replacement was a success, the truck is now heated... Just in time for summer?

It's not really summer around here. You'll still need that heater.

Re: Replaced my heater core today...
Isn't it nice to fix something like that before you're clearing the window with a towel and trying to fix it while your hands are numb from the cold?
Good job,hope you got th queen out of there.

Re: Replaced my heater core today...
I dunno, rat droppings can get sucked out by a shop vac, and won't sting you. Kudos for not procrastinating till winter. Seems every old vehicle I've ever owned decides to need a heater core a month after I buy it. I've come to expect it as part of the sale.
And ya, still need the heat every morning here to clear the windows. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Replaced my heater core today...
Is there some sort of bracket that holds the heater core in place? When I bought my truck the heater box was off the firewall and there wasnt a heater core, one of these days im going to put it all back together. That bracket looks like the only thing im missing right now.

Re: Replaced my heater core today...
There are two brackets on the heater core that attach to the housing. I may have a pic in my build thread but I'm on my phone so I can't check right now.
