If you find someone that does, please let us know. It is one of the parts that as far as we know, they don't make repops.

an odd core due to the tube shapes

heres the 61-64 and 65-66 side by side

Image


some others that do not match due to size and tube styles

Image


best thing to do is find one from a parts truck, clean it up and repair if necessary and save it as i have done.

There was a guy who soldered one together out of an econoline core. I know when mine goes out I will figure something out.

I used this heater core, Four Seasons 94576 Heater Core and used 1/2" copper tubing and fittings to copy lines from old one it worked perfect. I don't know how to post pictures, or I would post pictures of it.

It was for a 61 unibody, but I think they are the same as 64. Just make sure you get the copper core.

Aluminum is all I am finding with that part number also. But you can use uniweld 4300 to solder the two together.

I can not tell you part numbers but I bought one on e-bay, made of copper, that matched core size, cut off the old tubes and soldered them on the new core with 1/2" copper fittings

I would think you could take it to an A/C shop and they probably have a fitting to go from alum to copper some how
