A/C duct hose - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chipflyer · 01-08-2006, 07:01 PM

I need to find one piece of 2" a/c duct hose. I have three pieces that are in excellant condition but whoever installed the aftermarket radio mangled the
2" duck that goes to the center vent on the passenger side.
I really don't want to buy the whole set of hoses just for the one piece, does anybody have a good used one or maybe even a new one you would part with? Or if nothing else does anyone have a source for this stuff that might sell it by the foot?
Thank you

Jeff

I bought mine from the local parts store. It's plastic, so it isn't "correct" but it worked great and should last a long time. I should clarify, it still has the wire support, it just isn't the cloth type material the factory hose is.

how much length do you need? I just got a 6 foot piece for my def. hose. I may have some left over after I install it.

Thanks for the reply guys, I think the defrost duct is bigger than the one I need. I will check with a couple of parts stores today. Do you remember what store had it? I am afraid to get a dumb look from the guy behind the counter when I ask for "A/C duct hose"

Thanks

OK, I actually hit O'reilys on the way to NAPA and asked a kid a the counter for A/C duct hose. He looked puzzled for a moment and said he didn't think they had it. Another guy at the counter overheard him and he said "sure we do, its the gates stuff along the back wall".
Sure enough they had a box with a 2" x 6' piece and the total price was $3.59!

Thanks guys!
