The heater blower motor on my '57 has a short and will not work. Does anyone know of a source for repair or replacement?....thanks....Rex

The original motor was GM #5047728. That was discontinued MANY years ago and replaced by GM #5044290 which was later replaced by GM #5044402. The latter part was finally discontinued without supercession more than 10 years ago.
However, this motor is the same as that used on SOME 55-56 Chevrolet passenger cars. I think I'd check with a 55-56 Chevrolet reproduction source like Danchuk to see if they might have a reproduction available.
As an alternative, if you could find a good electrical motor repair shop in your area, they might be able to fix it.In Appreciation of John Hinckley -

I took my '60 motor to a shop that repairs fans and they took it apart and fixed a broken wire. Might look in yellow pages under fans.Comment
