Transmission Lines
Hey guys. I just added another truck to my arsenal. It's a 1987 f250 single cab with a 460 and automatic. It came with a 7.5' meyer plow as well. The truck needs some work. The first thing I am tackling is the transmission lines. One had a hole rusted in it. The other has been spliced many times with copper tubing. I am throwing is all away and starting fresh. I am throwing it all away and starting fresh. I will be replacing the lines from the transmission to the radiator and also the radiator to the cooler.
First of all, what size are the cooler lines? I have searched the web and see the majority say they are 3/8 but have seen some say 5/16. They look like 3/8 to me.
Do I need to get different fittings for can I use the ones that come on the lines?
I am going to measure everything roughly tonight but if anyone has done his before this question is for them. Should I buy a 25ft roll of tubing or buy it in pieces?
Thank you very much.

Mine is 460 C6...I think the use of 3/8 lines would require reducers at the c6 ports, and so would not make sense.

Ok wasn't sure if you were referring to the 302/ aod in your signature.
As far as the routing goes; line from transmission to auxiliary cooler, from cooler to radiator and from the radiator back to the transmission. Is this correct? Can;t find a diagram on it so far.
Thanks again

Yep, here's a diagram and is also a good option for you, if you do not want to make the many bend's and purchase a bender. LMC Truck Parts - Page 115 ..edit...oops, no 460
