Brake Booster Vacuum Hose - where? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm having a heck of a time finding 1/2" vacuum hose today. The kid at the O'Reilly's counter and I even went searching in the back after he brought me 5/8" heater hose. Lowe's used to have a large by-the-foot section, no luck. I even considered irrigation hose! I miss my old hometown auto parts store. I guess I'll try NAPA next. Where have you guys found it?

EDIT: Appears it is 3/8. Thanks 455. Now I know exactly what to look for.

Mine on the burb is 3/8. Also 3/8 on all vehicle's I've ever seen.

I bought some at NAPA a while back. If I remember correctly, they have it listed as Brake booster hose or something like that. Good luck.

BTW...booster hose is 3/8"....anything larger than that is air brake hose and its usually 5/8" and up...

NAPA sold me 15/32. It's pretty rigid and fit so I didn't question him.

That's exactly what I use, but I put the later model vapor filter in also
