Chevy 1947-1952 Fresh Air Deluxe Airflow Heater Core
HC 47-52 Fresh Air Dlx - in-line tubes
This fits the 1947-1948 Chevy Trucks With Outside Air Heater and Defroster and 1950-1952 Chevy Trucks with the Airflow Style Heater and Defroster. THE TUBES ARE INLINE.
The "Air Flow" DeLuxe heater used fresh air supplied from a duct that took in air from the outside. The lower priced heater was the "Recirculating" heater used the in-cabin air and had the round donut style core. Its most commonly found in southern "mild climate" cars.
We have replaced the cellular Harrison design with tube and fin core that can handle the higher system pressures of today's engines. devestechnet.com provides an excellent visual how-to on restoring the heater core in a 1950 Chevy Truck.

Brass/Black Model Ts
Our longstanding foundry (supplier) closed and all production was shifted to a neighboring foundry. Apparently many of the closed foundry's workers were ineligible for rehire by the new foundry due to more aggressive immigration enforcement and the union has no employees to provide. As of 2-20-25, we should receive castings in March 2025 and can resume production then.
In the interim, we have been working with our one-off foundry to have pattern boxes made and these are trickling in in smaller batches and we will produce what we can.

We appreciate your patience as we continue to recruit and train new fabricators and manage the labor shortfall our country has been experiencing.
