Replacement Heater core

[IamJerryP]

Got the new Heater core for the Chieftain front dash today.
Pretty much the same measurements as what I took out, except it costs 103.00 with shipping, instead of 275.00 plus shipping.
103 is fair enough to me, as it is the size of about 3 heater core
1/4 inch difference in length. different inlets, and outlets, not a big deal.
Came from a company called Mill Supply, ordered from StepVan parts site.
This weeks project will be putting it all back together. in a new core box, I am fabricating to make future replacement, and maintenance easier for the core, and AC coil. will also be easier to clean the coils in the future.

Got the heater core in today, made some modifications to make it easier to service in the future.
Also decided to go old school, and put in a heater core bypass, which allows me to cut off the water flow to the heater core in the summer, or incase of a core leak.
Total cost of new heater core, and modifications, 160.00
