Blue Radiator hoses

I've seen the blue "super hi-miler" hoses that Good Year makes. I want to get some of these blue hoses (both radiator hoses, heater hoses,etc.) for my '79 f-150 as it is blue and I think they'll look good.
However, goodyear doesn't make these hoses for '73-79 ford trucks. I know other companies make hoses such as this that are silcon impregnated to give them their color. Does anyone make them for our trucks?

They may not make an exact hose but if you take your old hose off and compare it to the available blue hoses in stock if your parts house is "nice".

If they are even nicer, they will take the time and pull both the stock and blue hoses and let you compare.

The Advance Auto parts by me is very friendly like that.

Good idea. If not I could go with that flex cool company (I think that's their name) that makes those ones that you trim to fit (they're metal I think though) and they come in blue and are soposed to use them. I see alot of street rods with them
