    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
