I went to order one but I hate paying $10 shipping for a piece of hose that cost $3.75. Especially when I can get it at my local auto parts store if I know the size needed. I guess I can crawl under the dash and try to get a measurement but I was hoping someone might know. Attachments CowlVent.jpg (29.45 KB, 128 downloads) Dave from Northern Kentucky My 54 3100

It also hangs at an angle as shown. https://www.flickr.com/photos/advance-design_parts_co/8129474877/in/album-72157631868452754/ 1950 Chevrolet 3/4-Ton 3600 More pictures on Flickr
