I have two online modern resources which usually give really good instructions on removing/ installing things.
Both really don't seem to go back that far with specific things.
Being a kid/ teen in the '70s is where a lot of my land yacht experience came from with the oldies but goodies! Usually, in most cases everything was simple with a heater box. Cables and vacuum were the norm for controls. Bolts and screws held everything in or together, to me, any involved plastics was stronger than the modern stuff.
If there is A/C involved (that was an option on a lot of stuff back then)
Sometimes the evaporator did not need to be taken loose from the system to get to the heater core, sometimes it did. Times were different, A/C repairs seemed inexpensive. R-12 was so cheap people would air up their tires with it, You could even order a BB machine gun out of the back of magazines that the R-12 cans would power it.
Back then, it was jump in and tackle it, there was no repair manual on hand, a second set of mechanically oriented eyes was helpful (and still would be). The better thing going these days is that cell phone camera, you can see how everything goes back together as you take lots of pics!
Below is not your vehicle (there was not one in You Tube) But this is kind of way things worked. I wish it were still this easy.

There were others shown in my You Tube search "1967 Ford Thunderbird heater core replacement".
I'd stick with the Fords, when soaking in information, Manufacturers would use much of the same technology in their line of vehicles.
You will not need any metric tools!
Please let us know how this goes!
