TX WTB nice original steel upper radiator hose - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking for a nice original steel upper radiator hose. If you have the 4 tower clamps and correct rubber hoses for each end that would be icing on the cake for me. Let me know if you can help.

Here are the upper tower clamps sized 2 1/16" make sure to specify quantity of 4:

Caveat-do NOT use the repros. They are ALL trash, as they are made from a very malleable steel, and distort unlike the Wittek originals. The originals are duller than the repros. They were dated originally, but most important is the QUALITY.

ONE set left for the awesome repro hose sets:

Awesome, always appreciate your help thanks! Just let me know on the tube.

Did not locate tube last night. Will continue to look for it.

**1970cstblazer** · 10-11-2024, 05:12 PM

Located it. Been off the truck since 1995. Solid, but needs blasting prior to refinishing. Asking $100 shipped lower 48 and paid via fee-less payment methods.

**kna4977** · 10-13-2024, 11:42 AM

Any others out there for sale?

For anyone looking for good quality reproduction tower clamps

https://www.ebay.com/itm/275325474138

The others that are sold by most of the big vendors are garbage as 70cstblazer said but not these, they are quality.

Good to know. I have bought from that ebay seller before and he only sells good stuff. I didn't try them because of the assumption that they were like all of the rest.
