No autoparts stores can help me

Well, start with NPD, but it might be helpful if you shared exactly which two hoses you are looking for...

Hoses for what?

radiator hoses? the parts stores should have flex hoses that should work. if you need molded hoses. you will have to get them from the vendors.

Assuming (and we all know about that...) that you're talking about radiator hoses, I got molded hoses for my 70 from Advance Auto Parts. Amazingly, they are a stock item at the store near my house.

Any parts store will have radiator hoses, heater hoses and power steering hoses. That's all the hoses my trucks have. Go to Napa.

Which hoses, Napa should be able to get almost any hose you need for a bump no problem.

Mine were in stock at O'Reilly.

Sorry I tried posting pics and it didn't work. Yes I was talking about the uppper and lower radiator hoses. I am looking at where I can find the flex hoses. I went to Napa and Advanced yesterday and got zero help.

That's odd. Most supply houses carry flex hoses in various lengths simply for the fact that they cross over all manufactures as emergency conversions. Will have to remember to bring my own hoses when I go back to Kansas.

The problem is the bottom hose. It hooks to the left (driver side) on the radiator but hooks to the right (passenger side) of the engine. So it's really long. Right now the PO hooked to pieces of radiator hose together.

If it's been done that way then you quite simply have the wrong radiator.....and you most likely arent going to find a hose anywhere to do what you want to do with it.

yep wrong radiator. you'll have to keep it as is with two of them hooked together unless you get a different radiator.

One alternative is to do it like is done on many large trucks with diesel engines.

They use a metal pipe between two curved hoses to gain the necessary length.
