1951 Oil Canister Hose question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello all, does anyone have a recommendation for quality replacement hoses for a 51 AD Oil Canister. See picture if wrong year. Engine is a 51.

I get mine from Classic Parts. They have a good kit with elbows & swivels. Any of the specialty suppliers has them.

I've actually heard of grease gun hose being used. Apparently it has the same threads as the oil line hoses.

I've never done it, but it's worth looking in to.

Chris.

A local "real" parts house or farm implement dealer might have them too if you have samples to take in. I'd imagine that Napa still has them in their catalogs if a guy knows where to look. You won't find them on their website though.
