1965 Chevy C10 Factory AC cloth heater duct hoses

Hello
I recently talked to a vendor about purchasing some cloth heater hoses he wanted to know the size of my old hoses. Unfortunately they are not on the car. I am curious is there a difference in size between AC and Non AC cars??
Thanks
Pete

If you mean the defroster duct hoses under the dash, then yes they are the same

I had a tough time getting the hoses for my 65, the suppliers were out. I found a compatible sized hose on amazon. This is in Canada, you will have more options (and cheaper) in the US. This worked perfectly.

That stuff looks a whole lot easier to install than the cloth type. I just got done putting the cloth style on my 65 with A/C.

It definitely was. I had to order it, one of my cloth hoses was completely gone. I had experience with the cloth hoses after installing them on buddy's 62, those are a different size. I learned this when he gave me his leftover piece so I could (unsuccessfully) fix my 65.

2.5" for 65 (as in my link).

The aftermarket varies in size but they all call it 2.50
