Where can I find these ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**GOPAPA** · 11-29-2008, 07:35 PM

I cannot locate these clamps at auto parts or any other stores so far ,,so if any one has a place one can buy these I would apprectiate to know where .

I also cannot find this hose fitting with a 45% bend .

Both of these items are for my gas tank /filler tube and the clamps are from what I believe is original from the factory.

the 45 degree elbow you can get in any ACE hardware....the clamps I seen them before in vehicles I just used the regular ones..

weav1 · 11-29-2008, 08:02 PM

The fitting appears to be a 90 degree

You might be able to find the fitting at Parkrose Hardware on Sandy Blvd in Portland. I'd look for you but I'm leaving town for 2 weeks. The clamps should be found at restoration shops in Portland as well.

Resto house only on the clamps. Try ACE in th plumbing isle on the fitting.

yup those clamps are the original clamps, ive colected enough to do about half of my engine compartment, but those have all been junk yard finds or pulled of my own trucks, i havent found anyone that sells new clamps like these but ive never spent to much time looking for them either i hope you find a place to buy them

Those are just old style hose clamps, but if you need them because you want your truck to look original, I got mine at classic industries.

Summit has the Fittings, I know AutoZone Auto Parts has them too for sure but dont ask them at the counter cause they will tell you they don't carry them and to go to the Junkyard. Or take your sample with you so they can see it.. I know Cuz thats what I was told so . And after haveing orderd from Summit a week later I found them on the shelf The Brand is Spectre I think thats the brand and they are crome

Good advice ,,if i cannot find the 45% fitting locally then I will order from summit as they have the clamps for sure .. I have checked with car quest and Napa and neither have them so I will look some more at other parts places and if nothing ,,then I will order by catalog I guess .. thx papa

I bought a full set last year from YearOne for my dad's 71 GMC

The clamps are available from Ricks First generation Camaro in Georgia, Danchuk manufacturing, NPD (national parts depot)and just about any car repop vender. Look for Impala or Camaro/ Chevelle suppliers the tower clamps as they are commonly called can be bought in complete sets for roughly $25, you will still need a couple extra for heater/ac applications. There are also specific clamps for power steering and gas clamps (a side clamp application) which are also available. These places also offer corbin style clamps for the 67/68 crowd if looking for 100 % correct restore. These places (usually car places especially camaro suppliers) have many, many items that are correct for the engine compartment for our trucks. I have researched alot of the engine detail pieces, for both BB and Sb trucks and these places all offer good service and quality parts. Hope this helps and if any questions let me know. Harold
