Skip to contentHC Ford 42-48
This has been described as a Ford 1941-1948 Car and 1942-1947 Ford Truck Under Dash Hot Water Heater Core. Ford and the aftermarket abandon the 1942-1948 production years but we will still help you.
YOU'RE BUYING A HEATER CORE NOT THE HEATER BOX PICTURED
We make our own copper cores and fabricate our own tanks so, naturally, we get asked to build custom heater cores or "small radiators." Some modern Fords leak like a sieve so we make a copper alternative. We prefer to have the housing or original in hand to assure fit but if we have made them in the past and have a pattern you can order a drop in replacement.
Made in the USA.
We make to order. Please allow adequate time for us to build.

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