Radiator Hose Help!!! 82 Crew Cab 454
« on: June 26, 2007, 07:22:25 pm »
I am rebuilding this truck from a basket case.

Dropped the radiator in the truck and went to 2 auto parts stores to get hoses. The hoses are the right length and curves but the diameter is WAY TOO small. I can stick the hose right into the radiator without even touching the opening if I am real carefull. No way it will even come close to stretching to fit.


Ideas?

They switched sizes of some the hoses at one point in time I think.  Where did the radiator come out of.  Ask to look at an earlier model hose.

I would look at one from an earlier model and see if it is larger.  If they have them in stock then it wouldn't cost anything to look.

I will try that.

I have two radiators. One from my 74 with 454 which is about 4" narrower than the one in the 82. So obviously I wanted to use the larger radiator.
