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.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

You have a PM, regarding the factory-correct upper radiator hard pipe assembly. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | The book shows like 456 says. It has a metal tube with sections of 1 1/2 in. hoses.

I am just trying to stay clear of the flex hose if I can.

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.

It is a reproduction of the factory-correct upper radiator hard-pipe assembly. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 564 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 564 | Did all of them come with the hard-pipe assembly, or was that a heavy-duty equipment option?
And what years was that available?
