Chrome radiator hoses for BB?

Anyone have any pics and a source for chrome radiator hoses for a big block? Upper and lower?
My lower hose rubs on the frame- want to get one that I can bend around it, but HATE the looks of the braided hose- seems I saw some that were straight chrome?
Thanks

Windancer,
I went through 3 lower hoses before I bought one from Napa. It fits right and doesn't rub, close to 3/4" to frame. Has 7371 on the tag. Also make sure heater hoses aren't pushing it down. Mine clears frame well and lays on inner fenderwell.

I got these hoses off ebay from some guy...I'll try and find his username. I only paid like $30 for each hose. I got them longer and then trimmed them down with a hacksaw. They are the same as a coolflex hose, just in a different package.

This is the dude. They're a universal fit. They come with adapters to slip on your radiator and thermostat housing.
