OBX 6.8 Silicone hoses - pics

I wanted a couple silicone hoses in blue for my truck, ordered these yesterday off eBay for $47.00, returning the Gates hoses I bought already ($74.00) these OBX hoses are way nicer and pretty thick, they look really nice. I'm very happy with this purchase, OBX on Amazon sells them for $87.00 I'm sure some of there vendors selling on eBay have had a hard time selling these hence the way better price .
They only have a couple pics on eBay, here are some better ones.

Will do, replacing the radiator - fluid reservoir - hoses - thermostat - oil cooler. Old reservoir is a ugly yellow the new one is white and looks really nice (Napa part). I might have to clean the rest of the engine bay now too. Pretty grimmy

Do they have more than blue? What clamps will you be using? T-Bolt clamps would look real nice.

Bentley, thanks for bringing that up. I ordered some tbolt clamps today because you mentioned it. Putting this project off til they come in later this week. Starting to get expensive after spending $70 on coolant from Napa yesterday.

Those are certainly very nice looking parts---almost a shame to install them.

Definitely use the type clamps recommended for silicone hose. That's just too critical of an application to use the typical worm screw clamps with the rough edges.
