    The OEM heater from the 58 sprung a big leak - took it to the local shop and they want $250 to re-core it. I don't really know if that is 'reasonable', and it may not matter as that might not be in my budget even if its reasonable. Trying to dig through old threads to see what might be viable replacement using the same housing etc. I do have an aftermarket auxiliary heater in the the 70 cj, so something like the summit/mojave style is not out of the question. But for now trying to see what might be more original. Saw this pretty functional mod from a member using a later cj spectre core: Heater Core

    But I was wondering if anyone has tried using this spectre core - its spectre 94478
    1964-1965 Jeep CJ5 Heater Core - Climate Control - Spectra Premium 64-65 CJ5 Heater Core - 117407-09121019 - PartsGeek
    can also find it here I think:
