Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Love that crimper. Where did you get it, and how much was it?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Sorry to Hi-Jack, but while everyone is paying attention to the AC hose thing. Find a local hydraulic shop, either Parker, Gates, or Aeroquip/Eaton. They will most likely have a great selection of AC hose and hose fittings (I am a Parker Dealer and I do...). If they have a "good guy" in the shop should selll you loose hose and fittings for you to take home and mock up. There is normally a labour charge for the crimping, just pay that up front as well. Take your hoses back when you are happy with them and have them crimped professionally. These shops normall cut bend flare and or braze tube assemblies as well. In your case Alan, maybe a tube assembly somewhere in that long ugly -8 line may be the ticket. We make AC and PS assemblies, often with tube assemblies as part of the hose assembly, all of the time for the local dealers, and mechanics. Our hoses are ready in minutes, and at a fraction of the cost of an OEM assembly.
Sorry, Alan, hope you don't mind me throwing this in here for you, and everyone else.

Thanks for sharing the info, I don't mind at all. It's helpful info. I don't have any of those close by, but did make some phone calls. I called a local radiator shop. They use to sell fittings, now they only make hoses. After two more calls I found North Georgia Rods and Customs. They are great guys and sell everything. Quote:
![]() Thanks Scott!! I picked up some bulkhead fittings and some slip on heater fittings. Not sure if i will use the slip ons. What Larry at North Georgia Rod's and customs said made sense. He said if you blow a heater hose with crimped fittings your kind of screwed. It's a throw away hose along with the fittings. I know it can be patched or bypassed to get home. But the truck will not see everyday use. I don't know which way to go now. They have some nice clamps with a nut look to them. ![]() This is where I'm thinking of using the -8 bulhead fitting from the condensor to the compressor. Getting to the back side will be a little tough. This will elliminate the long hose pictured before. ![]() This is the -6 bulkhead from the drier thru the radiator support. ![]() This is the backside of the -6. ![]() I picked this up for $15 cause it was missing a fitting. I was planning on cutting it down to the 2 heater fittings. Then I realized tonight that I need the -10 for the compressor. I might get one that is complete and cut off the -6. This will change how the hoses come off the compressor. Instead of coming down the fan shroud they might be angled toward the battery. ![]() Laid a couple hoses to see how it will look. ![]()

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Nice way to keep everything tidy! Bet you saved some money by crimping your own lines... Looking good man.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Y'all are welcome!!
![]() Thanks Dino!! Much appreciated!! I picked these moulded hoses up to install on the inside of the cab. Since I had to flip the 4 port bulkhead around I had to adjust my plans little. ![]() It allowed me to install the heater hoses without kinking the hoses. I still need to install some hose clamps once I get them. ![]() All hoses in place underneath. ![]() ![]() Home made hose seperators. ![]() ![]() Side view with tire in place. ![]() Wheels full lock to the left. There is plenty of clearance. ![]() ![]()
