!962 Heater core

The heater core on my 62 F-100 is leaking. It appears no one makes them for this year. Anyone have a line on where to get one?

Thanks!

Re: '64 292 3 speed to FE C6 swap

If I were to do it again, I would go the crown vic route as well. It takes a lot of the guess work out of the equation.

Re: '64 292 3 speed to FE C6 swap

You can use the stock column. I cut the shaft off at the box and use DD universals to attach it to the power rack. I have pictures on my post if you want to look at it.

Re: 62 shortbed project

Brought the driveshaft in today to get rebuilt. Turns out the Mustang II front end brought my engine up a few inches, so I need a longer driveshaft. Also, I melted the trans cable because it was resting on the exhaust.....more trial and error. The good news is that it is running great!! The carb nee...

Re: 62 shortbed project

The Truck turned out great! I may have missed it but, what was the fix for the header to oil pan clearance problem? Randall thank you. I wound up attacking it with a cutoff wheel and welding it up. If I get motivated this winter, I'll drop the pan, drill a new hole and put the dipstick tube in. Wha...

Re: 62 shortbed project

Yes it is a ford racing high volume unit. The stock pump didn't fit with the rear sump oil pan.

Re: 62 shortbed project

I made the trip to the alignment shop and she's all straight. Then we jumped on the highway for a little romp, and that's where things went south. A couple of loud backfires and a stall. I coasted to the shoulder thinking I ran out of gas, until I found there was no spark. Turns out the drive gear f...
