I'm too old to jump over it if it's welded shut. By the time I get it done I might need a drop down step like the really old people use on their RV's!

A member asked what radiator hoses I used. The upper is a Gates 20416, I had to shorten the end that goes on the radiator. The lower is a Gates 20584, I had to shorten the radiator end on it too. The applications are not GM, I took in a bent wire and diameters. I got them at Reilys.

Thanks Orrie, this information couldn't have come at a better time. Just yesterday I removed the flexible hoses from my truck and wondered if there was a better looking replacement available.

Looks like Grandmas, except her's was 2wd and no wood. Same dark brown color. My dad had a early 50's 4wd he painted a metallic emerald green in the mid 50's. I still have the sweeping "4 wheel drive" stencil he made from the original. I will see if I can find any photos of grandmas, I don't remember any off hand.
