Just wondering if any one has a metal radiator hose. My hose is rotted and want to replace it. Thanks

Here's a pic from "scottsheavyhalf" 69 C10 and a link to his thread. Hope he doesn't mind me borrowing a pic of his truck

. PM him to get details, I would think an exhaust shop could make one pretty easy. I would think you will need solid motor mounts and an expanded rib on the pipe to keep the twisting of the drivetrain from yanking the hose off.

they are easy enough to make with a "build your own header" type kit, just make sure you use a small bit of rubber at the ends and you should never have any issues, I would also recommend some type of jet coating that you see on headers to keep it from rusting out a second time

I will check out the build your own kit situation. Thanks
