Rebuilding my A/C tomorrow and can really use some help. I CANNOT find a part number for the A/C hose that goes from the Condenser to the Evaporator.
Here are pics of the same hose in a friends truck - hose is outlined in RED:
HELP!... much appreciated!

That's the condensor outlet hose and I'm trying to find the pars number but not having much luck so far

Here is a link to RockAuto that may be helpful; it's for a 79 Chevy C10 w/ a 305 and it's to the heating and air conditioning section:
http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/chevrolet,1979,c10+pickup,5.0l+305cid+v8,1030453,heat+&+air+conditioning
Click on the "Refrigerant Hose" section and you'll have several choices which may be what you're looking for:
1. GPD 4811288
2. Four Seasons 55079
O'Reilly Auto Parts link:

AutoZone link:
http://www.autozone.com/cooling-heating-and-climate-control/a-c-hose-assembly/dodge/dakota-4wd/1997/8-cylinders-y-5-2l-mfi (I think you want Everco part 34706)
NAPA: http://www.napaonline.com/
http://www.napaonline.com/napa/en/p/TEM200847/TEM200847_0120068053 (I think you want part TEM 200847)
Hopefully, the above links help. If nothing else, perhaps the part numbers can be used to cross reference to other brands. You may need additional parts such as o-rings, gaskets, etc., but I am not knowledgeable enough to advise you.

DustyRusty - the one you pointed out (pictured below) goes from Compressor to Condenser and from Compressor to Evaporator. And I already bought that one. The one that is a single hose that goes from Condenser to Evaporator is the one I need and it is like it does not exist on the internet. Not one single Auto parts store I called even shows it in their system.
Frotosride - Thanks - let me know if you find it. 3 hours at the computer and no luck for me yet.
Have this one already:

Certain 73-87 restoration companies carry it. That's probably your best bet
-
Is there a magical link to that part? If you are talking about the forum store I don't see it.
-
Called Chevrolet parts, no luck with part number. I did find the part that was referenced at the "Classic parts supplier" that was mentioned, for $85. A local company told me they could make it for $35-40 tops.
Looks like I'm going to get one built for me.
-
Listing this source for others and in case you need to come back to it: A/C liquid line from Classic Parts (http://www.classicparts.com/1975-80-A_C-Liquid-Line/productinfo/68-980D/#)?
-
That's all I could find for the liquid line too. It looks like other makes models had the same one as well but it would be a roll of the dice as to whether or not it would be the proper fit and length.

THAT is the booger right there!

Don't have my reference books handy, but I dug through my receipts from when I was rebuilding my '74.
I went with the '76-up evaporator and the receipt I have shows the hose as GM # 14013186 (with a note written on the receipt stating "A/C High Pressure").
In May 2000, the hose was $62 and change...
-
I found one on Ebay and the seller is the manufacturer of the part and also sells to the other company linked above. $65 + S/H. I decided that $65 was cheaper than driving 90 miles round trip to have one made.

When I lived in Texas, I bought many parts directly from Old Air. It's been a while, but in my experience they were very reputable...
-
Well, A/C install was delayed until this past weekend due to waiting for the hose that BD listed above.
FYI - The other part(s) you may have trouble finding are what I call the "Condenser extensions" (which is the best way I can describe them). There are two lines, and they are both about 9" long and have special bends in them to go from the Condenser through the wall into the engine compartment. You will probably have to get those from Old Air Products as well.
Yesterday and today my Buddy installed the A/C and basically we replaced everything. In the process I also had to change the Fan Clutch. I guess all the parts ran me about $850-ish. And that money was WELL SPENT! I am really loving it. Never drove it with the windows UP before!
Thanks again for the help on this one!
