Defroster Flex Tube..Got A Good Source ???

I need the 2" I.D. flex duct tube for my 54, local auto parts stores no longer carry it around here, nothing smaller than 3" at hardware stores...is the only place to buy it thru the f100 truck sites? I believe I need 6' in total, but there's got to be a cheaper source for this stuff than thru the old trucks sites. They want ALOT for this cheap tube.
let me know if you have a source.
thanks alot, Ed

Yep, $20 for the 6' isnt bad..but then you have to add ship cost too, I'm across the country from Mid-Fifty (they are good folk though)
I've seen others charging $19 to $25 per 3' side (2 needed)...
I'll give Napa a call tomorrow and see if the local has anything.
Pep-boys, adv, auto-Z, lowes, H-depot, small mom-pop hardwares, W-mart, E-bay all dont have the flex-tube.
I'm really close to fabbing up my own useing some fiberglass cloth and rubber ends (from a radiator hose)... I would just have to make it look good.
I'll let you know if I find any flex tube at a good price..later, Ed
