Where are you guys getting your non AC replacement heater cores from? Any brands to stay away from?

For me on a ‘70 c10
The aluminum spectrum did fit brackets wouldn’t fit over the core.
Found an nos on eBay. Reasonable price

I bought a copper/brass non-AC core from npdlink.com and it fit perfectly.

I got one from summit racing. copper like the original. P# OER-3015169 $90 bucks. i haven't installed yet. hope its worth the extra $ over aluminum that everyone seems to have issues with them not fitting.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have never heard of this company. Cost including shipping was $77. Not bad for a brass heater core. I have an aluminum one and have trouble with it fitting.

Got mine 10years or so ago from Wes at Classic Heartbeat here on the board.

Copper and brass, fit well, still good. Came with good guidance too.

**BigBird05** · 11-17-2021, 10:27 PM

I am getting mine from Classic Muscle. Everything I have gotten from them has been great.

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 11-19-2021, 05:37 PM

I hear Classic Heartbeat's are real good.

Yes, I bought the A/C version heater core from NPD. I have not yet installed it. It looks pretty good.
