Lets see your Creative Plumbing and under hood accessory management... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I see a lot of people doing some pretty nice wire management. How about all mater of pipe/hoses/lines etc... including radiator hoses, heater hoses, brake lines, ac lines, fuel lines, hydro boost/power steering, air lines, vacuum lines or whatever plumbing you might have. Post up a pic with a little description. Maybe how you got to that point, why you modified your plumbing and how its worked out for you so far. Would you do anything different? I dont have any good pics to post up yet. When Im done with my truck (someday

) I plan to open my hood and see nothing but an engine. I want to make it look like there IS NO wiring or plumbing. I want people to look at it and scratch their heads wondering how the heck it even runs...

Ready...

Set...

GO!

Don't know if this is what your looking for but...I cut a length of aluminum conduit and made a top radiator hose.

Yeah this is the kind of stuff Im looking for. Why did you use the solid conduit?

Andy did you get your shifter wiring sorted out?

BBforlife there is a thread saying show me your engines that will give you a lot of ideas.
I'll link it if I can find it.

blazerboy_4life,
The conduit fit the regular rubber hose inside diameter perfectly. So all I did was cut enough off the old hose to secure it.

VetteVet,
Yes,
waiting on a micro switch for it. Well I think I have it figured out any way.
