I need to reconnect the heater on my '64 C10, which looks like it hasn't been used for years (ex-California!) I assume you run a larger(5/8" ?) hose from water pump to the larger diameter heater pipe (which enters the heater box to the rear) and fit a smaller (1/2" ?) hose from the small heater pipe back to the thermostat housing? Is this the correct in/out plumbing? Thanks guys, Limey

Seemed easy enough...but maybe I got lucky! Sittin' Pretty in My Old Kentucky Home. http://www.picturetrail.com/barneysbowtie
