trans cooler line adapters?


I bought a set of tranny cooler lines from Bronco Graveyard and I laid them out under my truck for fitting. I found that the lines sent have female ends for the cooler. I have adapters for rubber line hooked to my radiator. Am I looking for the part that threads into the cooler, or into the adapter that is in the cooler?

It goes: cooler, adapter, adapter, rubber line, metal line. I figure this is not the stock set up, so any clue as to what size adapter I need to complete this job?

I'll double check when I'm at the garage but I believe they're going to be 1/8 MNPT X 5/16" flare.

I checked and they are 5/16" tube.
Ford's part number for them is 359279-S
Fitting, 1/2-20 X 1/8-27 X 5/16" tube

This is what they'll look like:

I just pulled the plugs this afternoon from my radiator and they are 1/8 pipe thread for sure.

That's some invaluable information. Thank you so much guys. I am spitting a quart per 60 miles out my lines and its wood hauling season for me. I hope I can get hold of a set. It is a holiday afterall... Happy Thanksgiving to all those who participate! Eat a turkey!

They're a fairly common fitting. If you can't find any at the autoparts store go to Lowe's, Home Depot or hardware store and look in the brass fittings in the plumbing dept.
