Hi everyone. I seem to be in a pickle. I want to replace the radiator hoses on my 1949 Chevy Pickup. The truck has a 1954 235 from a Chevy Belair. The previous owner put an aluminum radiator in, so it's not stock. I had to cut the old hoses off. They were stuck on. I went to Oreilly's and bought upper and lower radiator hoses for stock 1954 235. The top went on ok. I have a problem with the bottom. The hose diameter is 1.5 inches on both ends. The lower hose goes on the water pump, but the end for the radiator is too small. It needs to be at least 1.75 inches. I've been to every parts store in town and can't find one to fit. What can I do?
