C2 63 heater blower, No AC

[Rich G.]

I'm posting this for a friend who has a 63 with a blower motor with a bad bearing. He tells me this motor is unique to 63 non AC cars. Anybody know a source for this other than watching the usual places like Driveline, Hemmings, E-Bay etc? He does not think these are rebuildable in general, but I'll ask the group's opinion.

Thanks

Although the parts book indicates a part number for '63 only, the interchange manual indicates it is the same as '63 pass car, and will also interchange with 64-up pass car and corvette, possibly by using the '63 squirrel cage assembly. I know of no way to repair the rear bearing.

Rich, if you look at some of the parts books (LIC), you will NOT see a nut to attach the squirrel cage to the shaft of the 63 blower motor. You WILL see a nut for a 64 to 67. The difference is probably the way the squirrel cage attachs'. I believe that a 64 to 67 motor and squirrel cage would fit into the 63 outer heater cover and function properly.
