Yes, I finally found a hose that worked. I had to unbolt the water neck and clock it down. My brother is going to machine me some aluminum clamps for the water neck. I made a 1-1/2 ID hose go on a 1-3/4 radiator neck.

Thanks! The radiator is a direct bolt in for a 47-54. I think I reference the ebay link where I purchased it in some of the previous threads. I purchased it from Reliable Radiator. I did save the part number from the radiator hose and will get that for you. I'm sure there is a 1-3/4 to 1-1/2 hose that would work but I got tired of standing in the parts house looking for hoses. I only used a small section of a long hose. I shoe-horned the 1-1/2 hose on the 1-3/4 radiator neck. The upper radiator hose combo is an 88-96 Chevy truck 5.7 lower hose. The smaller hose is a Mazda Miata lower hose.
