For now I fabricated my own out of multiple hose with steel inserts and gear clamps to get the shape I need and to get the thing going. I don't really want to go with one of those tacky universal hoses. I'm sure there's someone on here that's put a BB in one of these trucks with the long nose pump. Just like everything else with this swap...... Fabrication, Fabrication, Modification......
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I ran into the same problem that your having and I finally gave in to the universal flex hose. I shopped around for a while and couldn't find anything that would fit. If you find something I would like to know about it so I can get rid of the flex hose.
