That looks like a non A/C truck? Probably any parts store will have one. I got one from AutoZone for mine recently, although it is an A/C truck.

Could be parts consolidation? Even on much later vehicles heater cores can be slightly different than OEM.

Check with your local radiator shop. They'll be able to look up/cross reference something that will fit a whole lot easier than we can

1) Restomod air
2) Classic auto air
3) the part guy
4) vintage air

You can check rockauto and they often have dimensions, part #'s, and photos for a given part. They have about a dozen on there.
