Help!!! We are being told by several mechanics that no one is making front rubber hoses for a 1978 f/150. I refuse to believe this. Can anybody help us here???

Thanks

I couldn't find rubber, but JCWhitney has stainless steel for not much more:

If you HAVE to have rubber, you could try LMC Truck.

 

Try auto zone.I just bought them for my 79 on saturday.

In the cool still quiet of night, you can hear chevies rusting away.

 

Thanks for the info. I forgot to mention that the 78 is a 4x4. I see that autozone lists them. I guess the chevy mechanics in this neighborhood don't keep up on things, and as usual there isn't that much call for Ford mechanics --- anywhere. What little needs to be done on our Fords we can do ourselves.

I checked with the local NAPA store and they claim that they can get them --- 2-3 days.

Thanks again,

My 79 f150 is 4wd and auto zone had them on the shelf when I bought them.The pass side one is 20.00 and the drivers side is less.Money well spent and very easy to replace yourself.
