I am wondering if anyone knows of a good replacement for the upper and lower radiator hose for the 1970 GS 350 ?

Ahh ca Mon Steve it's for his retro GS so it's gotta be funky fresh not your average upper and lower hoses
Steve I saw that but my concern is that the shape is correct for the hose to fit in the hook on the fan shroud and I see there are several shapes. Sadly I tossed the orig one I had pulled off the car and now wish I had it to go match up with a correct shaped one. The skylark one without the breather is different for sure.
Thanks to member 1970 Stage 1 thread about his survivor 70 GS350 I found his pics of the original shape.
That’s a replacement ribbed hose. I can tell you it’s not an original. The smooth type rubber appears to be no longer available.
Hi ! I got a '70 Skylark with a matching 350-4BBL engine but i ordered two wrong upper radiator hoses (GATES #20869 & #20577) that do not pass in the hook. RockAuto refers to his hoses as the only ones for my Skylark 1970 model year but I read on this forum that there were hoses common to 1969 and 1970 (here: http://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/got-the-wrong-radiator-hose.299756/). So maybe the GATES #20980 is the good part i'm looking for ? What do you think? You can see below my engine bay with the GATES #20577 that does not fit in the hook. Thanks,
