I'm sure others will post their favorite vendor. No matter who you buy it from take it to a radiator shop and have them pressure test it and have them double check the welds where the tubes connect to the core.

When I pulled the heater core out of my 70 I took it to a well established local rad shop and they replaced the "center core" only with an American made unit with the same exact dimensions and re fitted the side plates and tested. Went back in like original. He explained that there were only 2 manufacturers left that he knew of, one in PA somewhere and one in Tampa. It cost me $95.00 total.
