68 C10 LS rad hoses suggestions

Hey all.
I have a 68 C10 with a 5.3 LS with a dual pass rad, and need some suggestions for upper and lower rad hoses.
Thanks.

Re: 68 C10 air intake suggestions

I typically make a wire pattern for both the top and bottom hoses and visit the local parts houses. They let me pic thru the hoses in the stock room. I've had the best luck with Oreillys. You may have to trim them a bit to get them fit correctly.

Thanks for the reply. I like the idea but need to find a store that stocks hoses. Most stores order from a warehouse. We have several auto parts stores up here but no O'reillys. Gotta fine a store that will let me look at what they have.

Puzzled to see post about rad hoses with the air intake title? My air intake mockup is noted in build thread. An air box will be built to draw air from in front of core support. Used rad hoses from the Camaro engine came out of with some couplers for the rad. Also can be seen in my thread.
