what is it called??

Just replaced my PS gear box, PS pressure and return lines. After I was done I started looking at some of the other metal connected lines in the engine compartment and decided to give the new line wrenches a work out and replace all of them as well. I cannot find the smaller metal connection lines that attach to the radiator because I do not know the precise names of them, can anyone provide a little guidance here?
Thanks, Phil

Transmission cooler lines?

Are there two and do they both connect, one above the other into one of the tanks on the side of the radiator? The other ends will go to your automatic transmission.

Classic tube probably has pre-bent lines or most people just make them from sections of store bought tube.

If you want replacement metal transmission cooler lines you will have to goto LMC truck or a specialty tubing supplier.

Box Shop parts houses are only going to have components to build them with.

-Enjoy
