Radiator hoses for Early Truck 5.7 swap

mshred said

I have been thinking of going the flexible house route. Whose product did you use? I checked out some of the options on the summit website, and a lot of them say it looks nice but does not perform well in terms of longevity/durability, especially in regards to the adapters and clamps. What has your experience been like?

They are Summit, The rubber inlet adapter is Spectre. Longevity isn't an issue. I replaced the OE clamps with sturdier pieces (Ideal) as the will strip out. If you are going rubber, the hard part is the lower hose. There are no parts stores here around I can rummage through, so this worked well for me. I know it reminds folks of the infamous universal rubber hoses, but much like them it works.
