Is anyone making the tower clamps for a metal 4x4 radiator hose - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Any help is appreciated, Thanks Randy

You can get Wittek clamps from a lot of places. Just google it. You can also get em date coded if your heart desires. My last set was a good one from YearOne. But they're everywhere.

EDIT: Great to see you back on the board BTW.

Pretty sure I got mine at Classic Industries.

Classic Parts in Riverside, MO has them.

Here ya go Pete, not as clean as yours though. Getting closer to being done

**davischevy** · 03-16-2020, 10:48 PM

Where did you get the short hoses Randy?

teeitup · 03-16-2020, 10:51 PM

Larry off here about a year ago, not sure who I got them from, sorry

**davischevy** · 03-16-2020, 10:54 PM

Pete, where do I get belts and hoses marked "GM"?

Randy check with Camaro (ecklers) and corvette suppliers. The white striped vac lines, the molded Pcv and ribbed heater hoses are all available. If you can find a set, you can rehydrate a set of the evap can hoses in a butter bowl filled with a mix of stop and armouR all without losing the lettering. Trick is to find the hoses. You can also find gm lettered belts through corvette/ impala / camaro suppliers. A lot of the hoses and clips and clamps are the same across the board. Hope you are well and the blazer is sweet!

Larry I’m going to ask Brad to step in here regarding the belts. I used NAPA belts but he was able to find a source for really nice GM inked belts. Details also on his recent k10 build.

Member Wetowm had the hoses. See here: https://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vbo...d.php?t=789040

I got my belts from gastanks.com ....I found it most effective to measure our set up and buy them based on length. So I ordered a few options and returned what I didn't use. In fact I wish I'd ordered one more, because my alternator belt is at the end of its adjustment. Not a problem, but I find it esthetically not ideal.

Thanks, I will check them out.

I keep a collection of belts for checking fitment. I put new belts on my Longhorn the other day, and found a NOS Genuine GM belt on the rack that fit.
