Does anybody know what hose it takes for the upper radiator hose in a 66 with a 327. I have the one I took off but all of my parts stores can not match it with anything and want to sell me a flex hose. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey rodwst. You have a PM, regarding the factory-correct upper radiator hard pipe assembly.

The book shows like 456 says. It has a metal tube with sections of 1 1/2 in. hoses.

Rodwst, that picture from 4-5-6 suggests a simple solution. Make a pipe out of pvc tubing in the shape you need then take that to a muffler shop with a tubing bender and have the pvc pipe duplicated in exhaust tubing of the correct diameter. If there is a metal supply store near you you could buy thicker wall tubing that would last longer. A tubing bender in good condition can bend 1/8" wall thickness tubing no sweat.

We fabricate and sell the kit. It is a reproduction of the factory-correct upper radiator hard-pipe assembly.

Did all of them come with the hard-pipe assembly, or was that a heavy-duty equipment option?

And what years was that available?

I believe all of the V8-equipped, light-duty Chevy trucks from '63-'66 had this arrangement.
