Radiator hoses
 

Hi all, I am searching for upper and lower pre formed radiator hoses for my 1965 C10. it has a stock V8 radiator with a 350 engine long water pump. Maybe Autozone, O'Reillys or NAPA may have something I can get locally. The upper is 1 1/2 inches and the Lower is 1 3/4 inches inside diameters. Please, no flex hoses. What are you using? Thanks in advance.

I ordered from this site and they fit just right. http://www.truckandcarshop.com/trucks60_72/t60_098.html

Napa 7454 for the top, and Napa 7694.

Thanks for the replies, decided to go with my local Napa store. They'll be here Friday.

What hoses will fit will depend on whether you mounted the engine in the original stock location. These trucks did not come with long water pumps so any hoses listed for the original application will not work. At least not without modification.

Don't forget to check Rock Auto. The website is a great resource to check parts and prices. The limiting fact is that the parts are for vehicles that are not modified from stock. Also, you can see what the parts fit and if there are interchanges. I have always been happy with buying parts from Rock Auto. Great prices, especially if you can find parts listed as "wholesaler closeout", and fair shipping. Almost all parts have photos. The website is a good tool to use to compare to Napa or other online parts places.
