L6 heater hose lengths? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can anyone tell me the factory length of the two heater hoses for an L6 engine? I suspect mine are a few inches too long - which is understandable since they’ve been replaced by custom cut hoses a few times, and any measurement of the length will err on the long side....

Thanks!

Cut them to fit . No one measures hose lengths to the inch .

Top to bottom. Bottom to top. Sorry, my scan cut off part of the I6

I felt like the gates molded hose I got for the lower on my 250 with a 4 core radiator was a little short since the 4 core radiator goes over closer to the battery than the stock radiator.

About 4 ft each
