Hose Cross-Reference /Interchange Book?
Many members are loathe to use the flexible replacement hose on their trucks, but do not have much choice. Can you say fugly? There are regular posts by members looking for the correct hose, including one in the last couple weeks, and I just purchased the last one I could find for my spares shelf, hoping but not getting, a second one for the other member. From past posts, NumberDummy gave these part numbers, long obsolete. Can anyone cross these over, to say a Gates/DayCo/Goodyear (or other equivalent), that might some day pop up on FleaBay?

BTW, this is for 1966 F250, 2WD, 352, 4-speed.

Yeah, Cosmo, but from everything I have heard through posts on here, especially by ND, Ford obsoleted them many years ago, the others also
I believe. Almost every year, there are people looking for the correct molded hose, to no avail, making due with the flexible type, piecing one together using a sleeve and clamps, or finding one that is fairly close, and perhaps having to use those inserts .
I bought an NOS one this past week, sellers computer said he had another, but was incorrect, so I don’t know of any other for the guy who made the recent post. When I used to work on cars and sell TBA many years ago, at Service Stations, ( remember those?) the back of the application book would have cross references to other brands in case your local supplier didn’t have one in stock. I guess I’d need an old catalog from the 60’s/70’s.
If you, or any other member know of any still being manufactured, it would be great to post up the info.

FWIW, I hate the 'flexi' hoses too. And when I built street rods, I never used them. Instead, I would cut an appropriate section out of a longer hose that bent correctly, just was longer than I needed.
You will need to have a friendly counterman.
Same deal with the heater core in my '64 E-350 - I went through boxes of cores until I found one that I could make work.
Fabrication, it's a necessity.

To avoid the fugly flex hose, I took a hose that didn't fit and made it fit with a "Radiator Hose Repair Kit." The upper hose attachment on the replacement radiator is on the other side of center than original. I cut the hose in half, rotated the bend to the other side (shortened things a bit) and put it together with the repair kit. This does have two extra hose clamps, but it is better than a flex hose.

Gates catalog
I just found this on the Gates website. It lists hoses by diameters and lengths. You can then look at pictures of the bends. I haven't spent the time to find mine yet. However, this looks promising.
