Re: No heat---winter's coming

There are some videos online that give a sense of the process. What I saw indexed did not specifically show 62-65s,  but, for example, a later B-body and an A-body:

1969 GTX Heater Removal.  "Not a detailed document on removal but I do point out some of the key elements to removing the heater box and the heater core. This is not an AC car.  Heater only."
https://youtu.be/-PpnPdnUhUk

1968 A-body  (removal; he uses the confusing FSM as a guide) 
https://youtu.be/oJEzko85mgs?t=320
and the install 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMsw2UTvc1Y

Besides replacing the core you can consider replacing the windshield wiper seals while stuff is taken out. And refreshing / rebuilding the heater box. -- The fun never ends. :)  

Thanks,
Gary H.
