Heater core access door kit - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bought a 01 2500HD with 295k on the cluster. Have a smell of coolant in the cab so that heater core is coming out.

I am going to do the sawzall method. But I was wondering if there is a "kit" to add a clean looking access door to this in place of having a duct tape mess. I get that no one sees the thing. But if I am going to do this it is going to look clean after.

Anyone make a access door "kit"?

No kits like that... that I know of.
It's not that difficult to pull the dash out and service the evap and heater core. It's just time consuming.
If you're worried about it do a test run on a U-pullit truck.

I hate when I fabricate something only to find out that there is something out already.

Thank you for the advise.
