Just had mine replaced. Ford tech told me you only remove about 15 bolts and screws total then loosen the steering column and let it hang down. Then the entire dash is simply moved back out of the way to expose the heater box.
He had mine down in 3 hours. There is no manual to tell you how to do this job unless you get one from a ford technician. The Haynes manuals are a joke, don't waste your money buying one.
The ford tech said he would show me which bolts to remove. I post that later. Labor cost for this was $700.
Heater core was only $75. Antifreeze about another $20. You can do it if you take your time and don't get in a hurry.
More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
