I have been trying to find a lower raditator hose but the ones i got from shucks and auto zone while they are supposed to fit haven't been doing the trick the raditator place says it about 3 inches too long and that creates a problem with kinks and if you cut the 3inches off it doesn't fit on the neck properly so has anybody out there got any recommendations of who would fe the proper one

Stop going to the dumbest parts houses that exist and go to NAPA,Carquest and others that know what is going on.

I've always used GATES Part # 20791 and it fits without any issues. You might have to cut some off one end or the other, I forget which. If it doesn't fit after cutting some out, then cut some out of the other end instead. As I recall it, the Rad end is a tad bigger, but the gates hose is enlarged on that end enough to trim down so it fits. I really don't know what the issue could be, I've never had one that was hard to get fit in there, even with 2-3 inches of body lift and no radiator drop.

I hate to say it but tjwhite was right about the auto places i was going to i was able to find one just like the one that was the original from carquest .
it looks like shucks maybe the closest but not always the best

I just did mine, bought the molded hose that you have to cut to fit. What I did was cut it with a hacksaw, that gave it a nice even, flush cut. I have had 0 problems with mine, it fits like a glove. Just lay out your old one next to the new one and cut it so that they are the same. RF
