72 c10 non ac heater hose lengths

I have a 1972 c10 with the standard 307/4spd.

It does NOT have AC.

What is the correct length for the 5/8th's and 3/4 inch heater hoses?

Thank you all and happy holidays

Before heater hose got so expensive I just would tell them to give me 4 ft of each and trim to look right and save the stub ends. I don't have a small block in mine any more so I can't measure it and give you accurate measurements.

I'm going with the factory appearing heater hoses and it sells by the foot.

Top from heater box which goes to water pump = 34.75"
Bottom from heater box which goes to intake = 41".

I cannot say they are original but I previously verified they follow the build manual routing. Also do not let the tape rub up against the positive terminal.

Lmao about the tape measure, wish I would have kept the pocket knife that didn't survive the arc test on my 69 SS Camaro, took couple of weeks for the blisters/ skin to grow back
🤣

Re: 72 c10 non ac heater hose lengths

Apologies, I did some research and I gave you the wrong length. After looking through my pics, I realized mine are too long. Attached is a pic of one of the Lambrecht auction trucks during disassembly. It probably had less than a couple of hundred miles. Though I do not know the length, you can see how short they would be.
