[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3899045, member: 5412"] Awesome job! My 55 Ford Customline with the 272 CI, Y block engine lost the heater core once. None to be found in salvage yards as that was an issue with them. For about a month used a metal minnow bucket bottom with a coleman single mantle lantern in it for heat. The light was too bright for night driving so wadded up a bunch of foil balls and dropped in around it to block the light and add some heat sinks. Worked even better but had to make sure and keep some fresh air coming in. Defrost feature was picking up the bucket from the passenger floorboard and moving it around the windshield. Didn't work so well that way. Finally found a used one and got it installed. [/QUOTE]
