radiator hose resources??

I purchase a Champion 3 core aluminum radiator for my 1970 f100 302. I would love to put some blue silicon hoses on it, however I'm having trouble getting some to fit. The lower radiator outlet measures 2" and all the suppliers seem to only have 1-3/4". Does someone know where I can purchase some correct 302 radiator hoses for my truck? I would love to have colored hoses as it would go along with my engine. I have tried Summit Racing and a few others but no luck. I know I'm not the first wanting to do this.

Thanks
Jim

The Mustang crowd uses 'em all the time. Try CJ Pony Parts or Virginia Classis Mustangs on the east coast, Mustangs Plus on the west coast, or Dallas Mustang Parts in... Texas!

Don't forget to install an anti-collapse spring.

I wouldn't IMHO. It is true silicone hoses look cool and last a LONG time, They also picture and cut easily.
