Re: Radiator Hose Selection
Are you using a stock radiator? If so you can just use the stock lower for the 283 or 327 for 66. As for the upper. I believe I used one for a mid 70's truck. I think I even trimmed it a bit but it works.

Re: Radiator Hose Selection
I have not driven the truck for a few years now. I changed to a BBC and an aluminum radiator. It should cool just fine. I never got my temp gauge dialed in right but it seemed to be fine. I also used an electric fan which wasn't so great. Had a terrible sensor for turning it on and off. You should have a problem as long as the radiator is free and clear. I did have a new one.

Re: Radiator Hose Selection
My friend does a bunch of custom installs and upgrades. He bends a wire in the rough shape that is needed for the hose and takes it to the parts store. They let him look at the hoses and find one that is close to the shape he bent. Just a suggestion.....something to try.

Re: Radiator Hose Selection
If you're using the original style thermostat housing as Chevy Fleetside is then you can use Car Quest #20607 for the upper hose. If you're using the newer angled thermostat housing try one for a '69-'72 truck. One for a '68 Camaro will work too.....might have to trim it some.
