It looked much the same as the old core and I forgot to take any pic's I came home and put it in right away, I had the rebuilt rad and the heater core and wanted to get the engine running after I rebuilt it .But there are places that still have that get it done mentality and just look at somthing and say I can fix that also living near Chicago is good and bad on the good side there is alot of options when it comes to getting things parts or repairs .
