I need transmission cooling lines.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

for a 700r4. Where is the best place to purchase these? Fittings on my trans and radiator are tube nuts, don't quite know the size but smaller than 3/8".

You can probably use 3/8 brake line, but you would have to bend it yourself, and possibly cut it to length and reflare it.

The 3/8" I have was my fuel line, but I don't have enough. I can cut it and bend it but would like to know if I can just buy it ready to install.

Try Classic Industries, you can get them in regular or stainless steel. I will be getting the SS kit for my T350. I'm sure others like LMC, The Truck Shop, Brothers, Tuckers, etc.

EDIT: You may want to call them, their site is difficult to navigate. I remember it took me forever to find the tranny lines, now can't find them again

Ever thought about using braided lines?

Yes, all the other hoses are braided....so Yes. Need to figure out the fitting size and necessary parts.

www.truckandcarshop.com has SS pre-bent lines for $58.00/pr. I bought mine from them for the TH350 and they fit perfectly.

Fitting size is 5/16" inverted flare...found them at NAPA. Going to run braided line from transmission to AUX cooler...bypassing the hot radiator.

Thanks for everyones help!
