Radiator Hoses

[retsoced]

I have a 67 EB, and the engine was swapped some time ago with one from a 78 F-150. I tried to get new radiator hoses today, and came up dry. What I don't know is if the radiator has been replaced or not.

I thought about using the Flexible Stainless kind they sell at Summit, but I am unsure. I have not run into any trouble before finding radiator hoses....

Is there some way I can tell if it's the original Radiator? Or if it has been replaced with a later model....

Ask the part store for a later model hose, The water pump and the upper and lower hoses changed in 68 or 69 when the 302 was introduced in the Bronco.

I tried that, but I asked for a 70. I do have a 302, so maybe I will try 68 or 69 too. He looked physically and he said he didn't see anything that even looked close. I live in a fairly small town, maybe i will take a trip to Buffalo this weekend and see what I get there.

Thanks.

I got these from O'reillys Auto Parts site, are any of them similar to yours?

Yeah! As a matter of fact. The middle hose looks to be an exact match for my top hose. Actually, the first could be the lower hose too, but I would have to look again to be sure. I was able to get the small 90 deg. angle hose from them, but the main hoses were a no go.

What are these?

It's also the replacement upper hose for my 76 bronco.

I also just noticed yesterday in my new Toms catalog, that they sell hoses that look just like mine:

I'm going to try and get them from a store first though....
