305 V6 Lower Radiator Hose
Merry Christmas Everyone!
I am restoring a 1967 GMC 1/2 ton pickup with a 305 V6. I have to replace a leaking lower radiator hose (see three attached photos). As expected, I'm not finding one as I search the web. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

Re: 305 V6 Lower Radiator Hose
I would take the old hose down to the local parts store and see what they have hanging up in the store room. Done that many time on my LS swaps. NAPA has been good but I've had the best luck with Oreilly's.

That hose has some crazy bends, I lucked out and found a NOS one on ebay a while back. Google part #3898869.

Re: 305 V6 Lower Radiator Hose
I love that engine.
I've done the same thing as LS Short Box. If you have a friendly counter person at O'Reilly, they might let you wander through the hoses and see if you can find a close match. Oh, and ditch the flex fan... also known as the flying Ginsu fan.

Re: 305 V6 Lower Radiator Hose
I think you need a NAPA NBH 7377 or Gates 20617:

Re: 305 V6 Lower Radiator Hose
Hey do you have the part number for that GMC Valve Cover Plaid Spray Paint?
I wanna redo the valve covers on the 350 V8 in my '71 Jimmy.
