1952 Upper Radiator Hoses:
Does anyone make molded upper radiator hoses for 1952 F-1 flathead engine.I know you can get a universal flex type.I don’t care to deal with the steel pipes and hoses!

Also, if you don't care to deal with steel pipes, apparently there is a PVC alternative as witnessed in another thread.

Some Ford cars had one-piece hoses, but they were a lot shorter.
Bob, where is this thread about PVC? It's only rated to 140 deg.F., I can't imagine that turning out well. Even CPVC is only good to 180.

Wayne,I guess there is nothing really wrong with using the metal pipes.I always thought there was to many clamps and to many hoses for more chance for leaks.I have the universal flex that have been on my truck for probably 25 years or more and figured it was time for a change.I never had much luck with those factory looking clamps they sell either.

p/n 1BA-8260, Dennis Carpenter has them for $5 less: https://www.dennis-carpenter.com/en/...radiator-hoses
I'd think you have a better chance asking DC to measure them than the goobers at MACS.
I think if they did fit, Ford would have used them ($$$ savings)

Of course you could check the part numbers against your parts book. A quick Google search turns up that 1BA-8260 part number is for cars only.
