Defroster Hose for my '72 C-10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C10 - C90 Bill · 01-25-2021, 01:22 PM

Need some new Defroster Hoses for my Non-AC '72 C-10. Wondering if all the vendors have the same quality or are some better than others? Also, which is a better recommendation, aftermarket or OEM type?

Also need a Glove Box for the same, Non-AC. Same as above, need opinions on which.

Thanks

I prefer the generic flexible hose that I have in the photo. It's much more flexible than the OEM type which makes it easier to route and get connected. I do not recall what diameter it is supposed to be, but that one size fit both the round port on the air box, round connection at one defrost vent and the rather obround connection at the other defrost vent. This stuff is also good for pushing it out of the way if you have to "get up in there" with your hand to do some wiring, etc.

I got my glove box liner for my truck from GMC Pauls and it was as good as they get for being a stapled fiber-board liner.

I just bought the plastic hoses from LMC. They're very flexible and a perfect fit.

Order from GMC Pauls - you can get the complete set - great product. I cannot tell the difference from what was in my truck, other thank its new and no holes ;-)

Just a thought on the glove box...
Coated the back and sides, not the inside with brush on liquid rubber. Made it more 'solid' but still flexible.
