37buckeye Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I am looking for a replacement lower radiator hose for a '42 Studebaker President Land Cruiser. The Studebaker Part# is 199551. It is supposed to fit '41-'42 Commanders and Presidents. Please let me know if you have one or a potential source prior to my visiting the parts stores to see if we can locate a "close match". Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimy Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Suggest you download the Gates (hose) catalog which includes molded hose. Start your search in the catalog with the hose ID, and then look for the two-ways dimensions and the angle. Photos/diagrams are included. Be willing to use a hose longer in one or both directions and cut to desired length. Plan B is to use two short lengths of straight hose, and have the curve made of exhaust tubing. I'm actually a bit surprised to see curved, molded hose used that early (1941-42). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeboy Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 The lower hose on my 1940 commander is also curve molded. I got a long hose from my FLAPS and cut to length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(S) Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 NAPA 7372 fits the 1950 Land Cruiser (Comm 6 engine ) and I know they are different cars but I would ask for that and just compare them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
