Walter, do you have any pictures of the bus?
In keeping with the topic of this thread I’ll try to sneak a pic of the bus in, but I’ll start another thread about the bus. I spent some time in the back of the local auto parts store looking at hoses. I found a couple that could work with the 1966 327 to the 1955 radiator. I move slow, but I put the lower hose on this evening. It could have been trimmed an inch or so, but it fit as is. When I get to the upper hose, that will be cut to length. Is it measure once, cut twice?
