Where can I get one of the thin black overflow hoses that are attached just next to the radiator cap and runs down the side of the radiator. I checked a couple of different auto part stores and they don't carry them.Thank you.

If I remember right i used a peace of fuel hose on mine. I don't remember the exact size but I can look tomorrow if you want. I hope this information can help you out.

I used 3/8" gas line for the overflow my truck, the port for it should be the same for all radiators on these trucks.

The kind I'd like to use is the black thin line.Just wondering if someone knew where I can get some. Thank you.

www.classicindustries.com use to sell it, dont know if they still do. Another excellent source is go to a salvage yard and poke around, most of the 88 and up chevy trucks have at least 3~4 ft piece, clean the hose up and it should last a long time. GM may sell it, but I am sure its overpriced. The thinwall stuff is a bit hard to find *new*
