An actual pic would have been too gory. Settled for the more tame prop.
There are a bunch of Formal dash repairs that will leave you wounded for sure....
Adding a power antenna switch to a CB radio NYB.....

None yet ......but there’s still time.
Evaporator......
Well... vintage auto air in Tampa had what I needed. Just ordered the evaporator and added in a new heater core. I figured better to be safe than sorry considering the sorry state of the radiator.
For those interested..... Evaporator was $248.38 with shipping. Heater core about $125.25. Shipped with the evaporator n.c.
Grand total.... $372.63 ouch!!!
Another 10 hours to pull change and replace.... priceless.

You have no idea.
You’re right..... but I won’t start till the parts get here.
Still reading about how it comes out and how much I’ll need to do.
Did this on my 75 Eldorado but I was 8 years younger....

Way ahead of you Stan...... I completely rebuilt a French car with hydraulic suspension and an Italian engine... I’m not that clever.

Don't feel too bad about your cost for both cores..I spent $400. just to have my heater core rebuilt 2 years ago.
A handy tip if you're wanting to save some money fooling around with old and unknown A/C systems: Leak test with compressed air (approx 120 psi). A lot cheaper than Freon.
