What Radiator Hoses For A Serpentine Conversion? Need To Get Them ASAP. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys,

I am in the middle of a serpentine conversion and all is going well except my lower radiator hose won't fit right with the passenger side bracket in place. The bracket pushes the hose down onto the frame rail kinking it.

I am pretty sure I am going to need a new upper hose as well due to the alternator location. I bought a straight thermostat housing instead of the angled one, haven't opened it cause I am not sure I will need it.

What year vehicle have you guys gotten radiator hoses for to make them work? Some people seem to have had no problem with this, but some say to get new hoses??

Thanks guys!
