If you need to drive your truck during the time you have the
heater core removed there are two solutions for this problem.
1. If both heater hoses are the same size remove one hose at
the "block" end and connect the "heater" end of the other
hose to the block where you just removed the first hose.
2. If the heater hoses are different sizes ask your local
auto parts store for a 3/4" to 5/8" (or whatever size
hoses you have) adapter and connect the two "heater"
ends of the hoses together.

I need to do some repairs on the heater in my '54 Chevy, and they make
take more than a whole day (from the rate I've been getting things done
this week). Does anyone have a recommendation on what to do with the
coolant hoses while I'm working on the heater? I'm thinking duct tape...
