Don't forget to put hose clamps on that one.

is your engine a 350, what waterpump do you have on long or short? and what model of vehicle is the 1980 305 bottom radiator hose for? looks like a good replacement hose for are tight fitting factory hoses. thanks

Roadking, i have the same style hoses on my 69. The water pump in my app is a 73-up truck item,(long pump) as are all the belts, pullies & accessories. You will also notice a difference on the lower rad neck(straight vs the curved neck on the older trucks).......crazyL

just wondering what model and make i tell the autuparts store to get that lower hose? i have a long waterpump with a staight lower neck on rad.

Its a truck hose.....I shoot for a mid 70's (75 c-10) for a replacement hose. My 78 K20 also has the same hose. I think it would be a pretty safe bet, that 73-early 80's pu with sb will cover the same bottom hose. Good luck,crazyL

Is that a flexible braided fuel line?

Mine is a hard line bent around and up - its not where I would have run it as the flanged edge of my metal in line fuel filter hits my valve cover. Gets a bit warm. Flex line looks like a better way to go. How do you like yours?

braided fueline from autozone $19.99 . It just pushes on tightens up with hose clamps and covers. cut to length with hack saw. wrap hose with tape at before cutting helps keep ends from fraying when you cut it.
