Product Details

This molded coolant hose from Gates is built to fit the lower radiator connection on a range of Ford and Dodge trucks from the mid-60s through the late 70s, specifically for V-8 360 engines. It’s shaped to follow the natural curve of the engine bay, ensuring it won’t kink or rub against other components, which is crucial for maintaining consistent coolant flow and preventing leaks. A properly shaped hose helps your cooling system work efficiently, keeping your engine at the right temperature.

Gates uses a heat-resistant EPDM rubber construction for this hose, which is a solid choice for handling the high temperatures and pressure found in a cooling system. This material is known for its durability and resistance to coolant degradation, meaning you can expect it to last. It’s designed to be a direct replacement, so it should fit right where the original hose was, making installation straightforward for most DIYers. This hose is a popular choice for restoring classic Ford trucks like the F-100, F-250, and F-350, ensuring their cooling systems are in good working order.
