Upper radiator hose?
I am looking to replace my upper radiator hose on my 1967 k10 327. When I go to the parts store they try to give me a flex hose. I would like a one piece, moulded hose. If anyone has a part number that might work for my application, I would appreciate it.

Re: Upper radiator hose?
When I needed rad hoses for my frankentruck I bent coat hanger wire to the desired shape, measured the diameter and took them to the parts store. Counterguy did NOT even look at the computer, went back and within a couple of minutes came out with a variety. Picked the two that worked (had to trim both for length) and was out the door. Both were premolded Gates hoses. Flex hose is for lazy countermen.

Re: Upper radiator hose?
All of my trucks use the metal pipe with short pieces of hose at the ends.

Re: Upper radiator hose?
I ran a c10 upper for a few years. Had no problems but later Switched back to metal upper.

Re: Upper radiator hose?
I found one at NAPA using the coat hanger trick... I know have an original metal pipe with the rubber ends... either should work fine.
