60 galaxie,heater core

i have a friend with a 60 gal. convert,big block. his heater core went out and it evidently one year only.measures 81/2x81/2 x21/2.any ideas where to find one?our local small town repair says they cant get any thing but 2"core. thank you jack

 

Try Dennis Carpenter

 

thanks i ,ll do that.he hasn,t had anyluck so i said i'd help

 

just looked at carpenters the only thing they have is hoses

 

I found 59 and 61 cores for sale but a 60 is a 1 year size,it might be a low volume seller and no one is making em. You might try taking your measurements and hit your local pullapart and compare other cores that might fit. I was in the same boat with my 60 T-bird until they started making them recently. Good luck.

 

thanks i,ll help him find something. jack

 

I need one too for my 60 Galaxie. Let me know what u find because I'm freezing lol

 

We used to patch them back in the day they aren't the paper thin crap like they started making in the 70's.

 

I just brought one for my 64 Galaxie from Oreillys for $25

Check a Modine book the 2 1/2 cores Ford called High out put *

 

Check car mags for radiator/heater repairs. I had my '41 done by someone down south. A bit spendy but I knew it would fit.

 

thanks guys i havent seen it yet but the repair shop tid him it is too far gone.we'll keep looking and post here if we find something.
