anybody know where to get a heater core with a control valve for a 63 chevy c10 ? I ordered a deluxe from classic parts and it was not the right one. mine has a control valve on it so the tubing is different.

Rod,

The control valve you speak of is sometimes called a Ranco or Thermatic valve. There are several ways to handle this, IF you are going for the OEm look have the valve rebuilt at this place

There is an excellent thread currently going on at the Interior BB - read through this.

I had a simiar situation. I got one from Rock Auto. It did not have the valve or a provision for one, and the tube where the valve would be came out in the wrong place, so I couldn't use it as is. I
got a NOS valve off e-bay for about $125. Took the new core and the old core to a local radiator shop and they swapped the end tanks. Works like new. A good shop could probably fab an end tank that works without the valve.
