Heater Core

[NtheFamily]

Well I believe my heater core is gone bad. I washed the '65 yesterday during the beautiful spring like day in Ga., then took her out for a spin. When I got back home I raised the hood just to take a peak and noticed atifreeze leaking on the inner fender under the box where the heater hoses go. Further looking around, I saw the bottom of the heater box (or whatever it's called) looked wet and where both halves are, it looked like atifreeze coming from the seam.
I guess I can't complain, as far as I can remember my dad never put one in it since he had bought it from his brother (original owner) back in early 70's.

Is the heater core a pretty simple task on these jewels? Does it sound like the heater core to you or am I missing something?

Thanks guys for all info.

Sounds like a heater core and their easy to service and easy to get. After it has cooled down , disconnect the heater hoses. Unscrew the top cover, then clean out the leaves and other accumulated junk under the cover. There's two straps holding the heater core in place.

It's pretty simple like aerotruk63 said.
