Hello all!!
This is my 1st post!!! I bought my 1st Chevy truck 2 months ago (and love it grin ) & just got my truck pictures in the gallery!!!

Anyway, I bought a new hater core for my 61 truck but I dont' now how to install it. Can anyone PLEASE give me detailed instructions on how replace the heater core?
(Right now the heater hoses are redirected back to the engine.)

I'm on a very tight budget and can't afford paying my mechanic $80-$100 right now.... and the temperature is dropping in the low 20's.. brrrrrr.

Thanks in advanced!

welcome to the garage Tony - we'll help ya thru it!
detailed instructions:
- completely remove heater assembly from truck, making careful note of the pieces removed and their location
- dissassemble the box to find the offending part inside, again noteing pieces removed and their location
- reverse the process using the new part and the notes made
- attach the hoses to the heater
come back and ask further questions, like 'why's it leaking' or 'do these heaters actually heat' and we'll sort it out w/ ya grin

otherwise, it's prolly covered in the shop manual, and buying one is usually cheaper than paying a mechanic to read it grin
