Finished newest addon to my truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jayschevy · 12-31-2013, 05:49 PM

I saw this on a few cars but never saw one on a Chevy truck. Thought I'll try it. It's growing on me, plus it'll be a good conversational piece when I go to shows.

I'm not sure but I think it's pyrex glass. The company that makes these is called Killer Glass. They make these for several vehicles but not our trucks. I had to get a straight piece and get it to fit.

My bad

Gotta be honest with ya... I think it's kinda cool. Never a bad thing to be able to see your coolant.

**DreamRyder1963** · 12-31-2013, 10:43 PM

Its definitely cool and different. It has an almost neon look to it. I bet you get some crazy comments on it.

maybe add a small plastic fish attached so that it will not go into the system - on the serious side maybe use stainless flex radiator hose material since the tube looks on the hi-tech side..

There is actually a company here in Fort Worth Texas that will laser etch a bow tie or Chevrolet or anything else you want on it. They are one of my customers. I am a air compressor guy and they get their parts from us. Anywho I will go to work on Monday and get there info if anyone is interested.

Hook some LEDs up to it somehow and at night it'll look like its glowing. I think its cool lookin.

oldschool18 · 01-12-2014, 06:11 PM

if my truck was neon green I would replace all my hoses with that stuff.

gvw5400 · 01-12-2014, 07:37 PM

If I put that on my truck I would have to look at brownish green tube LOL

chevjayfsd · 01-12-2014, 08:47 PM

That is pretty slick.

There are 2 small LED's at each end of the glass tube. Looks pretty good at night.

In the picture it looks like it leaked all over your radiator and fan shroud.

Sorry I couldn't resist…. It's pretty unique.

Some coolant did spill when I removed the original hose. After installing the glass, I sprayed the engine area down with water and took the pic before everything dried. Been driving it the past few weekends, no leaks.
