Does anybody have knowledge of the correct type of heater and radiator hose clamps for a 1937 Chevy truck? I am currently using modern clamps which are satisfactory but I am wondering what they were like originally. It appears there are wire, tower and split band type hose clamps. What did Chevy/GM use?

I believe you might be looking for ‘constant tension spring hose clamp’, but not sure as I don’t have a 37. You can find them at McMaster -Carr in various sizes. A ‘twin ring hose clamp’ might also work for you. Be aware.....The constant tension clamp is a bugger to deal with without the special pliers.

Thanks guys, the split band or twin ring type seems proper. In addition to the Filling Station, Jim Carter lists the same type of clamps.
