57 Custom 300 Rehab

[RICH MUISE]

As Gary said, many of us have modernized with AC/heat systems, so not really a problem finding that stuff. Before you start looking, You'll need to determine if it has a factory installed heater (likely not since originally an AZ car) or a dealer installed heater. Easy to determine. Post a pic of the firewall/engine compartment where the heater is and we'll explain what you have.

Think it's original.

Factory installed.

Well, it made it home.  Now I can go out my back door and tinker on it.  Sure beats loading up tools and driving 300 miles to wrench for a day or 2.  Mice were not kind.  Interior is out, heater assembly is out.  Going to need to patch the fan housing and not sure what I'm going to do with the passenger side fresh air duct.

That is awesome!   Can anyone confirm for sure that Fairlane and Custom 300 would be the same under the dash

[fadmon30]

Looks identical.   Thanks for pointing that out.  I had given up searching ebay at least with out a part number

I have a factory heater, with the heater core and the fan, as well as the right side air vent, and $50.00 + shipping will make it yours.
If interested, PM me and I can send you photos.
