Source for original ribbed type vacuum hose?
I'm fixing up the a/c inside and out and I need to find the original type hose that actuates the air doors, and comes off the heater and a/c controller. Anyone got a size /source?

Bought mine at the Chevy dealership about 3 years back. Nothing like original parts.

Re: Source for original ribbed type vacuum hose?
I've been looking for them also. I'm going to try the dealer like 70GMCer says, but if they don't have them I was thinking of ordering here:
http://www.classicparts.com/1964-72-...info/68%2D888/ I did a search a few weeks ago and also found them on some of our other local vendor's websites. |

That link to Classic is for duct hose. I need the small diameter vacuum hose that goes to the actuators and controller etc.

Re: Source for original ribbed type vacuum hose?
I have had the best luck using Rick's first generation camaro for parts like this they have correct vacuum lines and such. As far as the small diameter a/c control vac lines I have not seen them and I have resorted to robbing from junkers that have not been messed with much. I collect them and usea butter bowl or similar place them inside with a bottle of armor all or similar poured over top and allow it to soak for seveal weeks. As long as they are in good shape to begin with this method will restore them to look and function as original.
