1979 International 1954 Series, with a CAT 3208 naturally aspirated and Allison MT653 auto trans.
Need lower radiator hose.The hose is a bit of an offset 90 degree bend, 13" long along the center and 2.5" on radiator side and 2" on engine side.
Cannot find an OEM style hose at several local sources and online. Universal flex hoses are not close in length and they can't be cut, I may have to try one if an OEM style can't be found.
As short as it is I don't know if a muffler shop could make a steel bend and use straight hose to connect both ends.
Before I experiment, are there any sources for obsolete/discontinued parts for these truck?
