1953-1954 Chevy 1st Series Truck Heater Core with a tube and fin copper core. This should not be confused with the Fresh Air Deluxe which has inline tubes. THIS HAS THE OFFSET TUBES.
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.
Our build queue varies.
Better heating through design. Made in the USA.
We make to order. Please allow adequate time for us to build.
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
Common street rods ~12-15 weeks
Tricky customs & complicated restorations ~16 weeks months
We appreciate your patience as we continue to recruit and train new fabricators and manage the labor shortfall our country has been experiencing.
