1939 Ford pickup upper radiator hose

[oldandtired]

I have been unable to locate upper radiator hoses for a 1939 Ford half-ton. Does anyone know of a source?

I believe the upper hoses have a steel tube that connect to short rubber hoses on the radiator necks and heads.

Thanks. I will do that.

1938 & 1939 pickups have been mostly ignored by folks for decades. I have a '39 half ton. They were considered ugly so no one wanted them. Now it seems like they have turned the corner somewhat. Possibly because the popularity of pickups has taken off. The unfortunate thing is there isn't much published out there for folks to research on these pickups.

I found a set of these metal tubes with an ad here on the Fordbarn. That was 13 years ago.
