I need an upper radiator hose for a '51 J, 6 cyl. Any ideas?
Thanks

I don't have the # right now but NAPA has them the top and bottom are interchangeable. I have them on mine. 1953 Allstate with a 6 cylinder. I will check later today the tag is still on the hose.

That was one of my suggestions Don. You can use the same hose for the top and bottom which is what I did -



It won't look like the shop manual or the factory pictures but it does look and work fine and it's not a flex hose!

Do you need to add a coil of wire inside the bottom hose?

I've never added a wire in the bottom hose and never had any overheating problems.
