I've been putting this off for awhile.  What
brand is the hose?  Does it have a stock number?

Please let me know how this repair progresses.

Thanks,
Ray

Subject: Changing coolant hoses.

 This weekend I am tackling the task of replacing
the long coolant pipes
from engine to radiator.  I already bought nice
heavy duty 1" inner diameter
coolant hose to replace the pipes with.  I am
also going to replace the
heater hoses from the engine to the heater core
in front cause they look
like they need it and I am going to have the gas
tank off so may as well do
it then.  I am wondering what size hose to get
for this?  I also found a
place that I could get 11/4" ID coolant hose for
the main lines and wondered
if I used this would it fit through the openings
that the pipes go through
in the chassis.  Is there any advantage to using
the bigger stuff?  Easier
to attach to the rest of the system, etc.?   It
is nice heavy duty hose used
for farm stuff  that they sell at Fleet Farm.
Would this be a good idea?
Thanks in advance.   Tim Vogelin     84'
