I have a 1956 3100 with the stock radiator in the 6-cylinder location with a sbc V8 engine. What hose will work? I'd like to find a molded hose and not use the universal flex hose. Thanks, Mike B

Original application 1959 1/2 ton V8, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,236 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,236 | Thanks 3B, I crossed that hose to NAPA 7165 and that might work...I'll call my local NAPA tomorrow and see if they have it in-stock. I have a NAPA 7695, but the leg coming off of the water pump is to short allowing it to touch the AC belt as it makes the 90* bend heading for the radiator. The 7165 looks longer... I'll keep you posted.

It needs to be cut slightly but has the correct bend. I don't remember the PN but most parts stores should be able to look it up. The stock TF V-8 hose is too short because of the location of the radiator.

It clears the AC belt and goes straight into the radiator. It could have used a couple degree bend at the radiator end, but the hose is long enough that it's not a problem. I'll take a look at the 65 truck hose...it might be better? Thanks, Mike B | | |
