Well, today one of my factory original 1960 heater hoses split on my 1960 Ford F-100 while on the highway, near the heater core. Does anyone know where I can find the original style ribbed heater hoses for a 1960 Ford F-100 with a 292?

 

Maybe try the local NAPA or a radiator repair shop?

 

I'm looking for the original style hoses, with the ribs. I'm trying to keep the truck as authentic and original as possible. I've seen these hoses on the market before, but for GM applications, with GM logos printed on the sides. I'm sort of new to the early Ford truck restoration game, so I'm not too aware of who is out there making parts for my 1960 Ford F-100.

 

UPDATE. I located a company by the name of Marti Auto Works, a licensed Ford restoration parts manufacturer/dealer who carries the factory style ribber heater hose with the white stripe running down the side. They charge $2.50/foot, and can even make specific hoses if they do not carry them. I''m sending in sections of my original factory hoses to be matched up and new ones sent to me.
