Gates 69-72 Chevrolet C & K Series Pickup V-8 350 Lower Molded Coolant Hose

This Gates molded lower radiator hose is built with EPDM rubber, a material known for its resistance to heat and coolant chemicals. It's specifically shaped to fit the 1969-1972 Chevrolet C & K Series pickups equipped with the 350 V8 engine, ensuring a clean installation without kinks or twists that could restrict coolant flow. A properly shaped hose is crucial for maintaining consistent engine temperature, especially on these classic trucks.

Gates designs these hoses to match the original equipment specifications, meaning it should fit right where the factory hose did. The molded construction means it holds its shape, preventing collapse under vacuum or expansion under pressure, which is important for reliable cooling system performance. This hose is a direct replacement for the lower connection between your radiator and the engine block.
