This looks like a really old thread, but I thought I would post this anyway.

I need to replace my heater core and a/c evaporator. Any Dodgers willing to help? I am in Knoxville.
 
I've not heard anything from Don in awhile. Is he still alive and well? I sold him a 1985 Crew cab 4x4 about 6 or 7 years ago that he had a cummins to go in. Does anyone know if he got it done?
