Got the hose off, looked at the parts manual and retrieved a GM number of 476719, when I go to Napa and use their number UP 4497, the part comes out and is shorter than the one I took in. It is entirely possible someone put this hose in years ago when the Internet was not a thing and parts were hard to find.

Does anyone know if the 476719 definitely would fit a 1.5 ton from 41-42? If so, I will buy what they have at Napa. Was reluctant to take them with me, seems that I could probably make it work, but the old ones fit nice and certainly didnt rub.

By the way, this hose is the issue, I cant push air through it.
