Radiator hoses
Hi everyone - am building a '46 ford/sb 350 chevy - and need to locate radiator hoses - do I go to a parts store with a pattern and try to match them or is there a place to have them custom made, or are there universal flexable after market products available. Thanks in advance, Bill

Same here, i just take old hoses and cut them and then tape them toghether to get the shape i need ,then go to the parts store and find one that matches, or you can do like pat says and make one out of pipe
on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
Time for brakes
