Hey Folks, Im looking to upgrade my hoses in the chevelle and looking around the net for them. Cant find a kit made especially for chevelle. Do any of you guys have any suggestions?
Im looking to replace both upper and lower radiator hoses and the two heater hoses. Im looking for the steel hoses. Thx!

sweet. thanks!
What are the diffrences between going steel instead of the rubber hoses. besides the look.
I dont have any heating issues just need to replace one of the heater hoses as it got loose from the clip and burned a tiny hole in it from the headers. LOL

I have these on my Chevelle:

I noticed no difference EXCEPT for they are soooo hot after the engine runs for awhile, that you can easily burn your arms on them.
I will also say that the other ones that Don posted will not look good after a couple of years, my father has them on his 67 and the braiding begins to oxidize and corrode soon after installing. They just look like crap now. Of course he spent all kinds of money, so he won't take them off. Just my personal experiences......
