Chevy 1949-1952 Fresh Air Heater Core

HC 49-52 Chevy fresh air

$329.00

This fits the 1949-1952 Chevy Cars and Trucks With Fresh Air Heater.  

The Fresh Air heater used outside air supplied from a duct that took in air from the outside. The lower priced heater was the "Recirculating" heater that used the in-cabin air and had the round donut style core.   It is 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.

Build time estimates [Feb 2025]

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.

Model As 5-6 weeks

Heater cores ~6 weeks

Model A and 32 Ford Street rods 6 weeks

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