Gates 72-79 Dodge D & W Series Pickup V-8 318 Upper Molded Coolant Hose

When you're working on the cooling system for your classic Dodge D or W Series pickup with a 318 V8, making sure the coolant flows correctly is key. This upper molded coolant hose from Gates is built to replace the original hose, connecting your radiator to the engine and helping keep everything at the right temperature. It's designed to fit a wide range of vehicles from the early 70s through the early 80s, including many Dodge trucks, but also fits models like the Chevrolet C10 Suburban and Chrysler Cordoba from those years.

Gates uses strong, heat-resistant rubber compounds to build these hoses, so they can handle the constant pressure and temperature changes inside your cooling system. The molded shape means it follows the factory routing precisely, making installation straightforward without needing to bend or force a universal hose. This helps prevent kinks or stress points that could lead to leaks down the road. It's a well-built part that gets the job done right for your specific application.
