? On condenser

I'm going to be installing the radiator. My 56 has the original radiator, a 350 engine, air conditioning and I plan on using the truck on long trips. Does anybody have any recommendations on what condenser to use. I'm using 2 electrical fans purchased from the Fan Man. If their is anything out their you think I should not buy that would would be helpful. Also I have heard their is a blue hose that is very good to use on radiator hookup. Who sells it or just what is the best to use?

I used a Vintage Air. Go to their website--they have lots of great info. Just be sure the condenser flows horizontally.

If I remember right, the blue hose kits are made by Goodyear, saw them on there site at one time, try searching there, when mounting your condensor its important to get it as close to the radiator as possible, if theres a large gap between the two if effects the air flow..I had to relocate mine after my original install..I use a Vintage Air system that I had to customize to fit my truck
