I'm looking for a source for the short hose that connects the
transmission cooler line to the hard line on a '65 F100. I believe it
is a formed hose. The diameter is 5/8". I can find everything else in
the world for this truck except the one part that is pouring coolant
all over the yard. Tried to make up a hose, but the radius of the
turns seems too much to keep from kinking the dang thing.

Call Gates/Grainger/Ford and see if they have a number for it and
order it.


My first pickup was a '61 F-100.

Fond memories:

1) Taking it flying off the little motocross jumps on the cliffs
overlooking the Mayfair market in Vista, CA. with my MX buddies. I did
that with my '62 Corvair convertibles, too.

2) Driving (drunk, unfortunately) across the Carlsbad Raceway
motocross track the day before a race with a big, shiny SS hot dog
steamer in the bed, heading for my friend's concession stand.

3) NOT having to find strange coolant lines because it was a manual
tranny. titter

4) Standing next to the engine (either side) while doing tune-ups
because there was all that room under tha hood.
