are you looking for the copper tubes to the rear heater? i have a set from a 75
I have an extra set of hoses from either a 71 or 74. I just thought they were rubber. Are they copper also?
I've just used regular water hose. Mike
Jason,
Go out in the yard, pull an 80 rear heater and all the lines to it, then run the lines down the firewall and under the floor board, fabbing some, to keep that hear from circulating through the cab during the 11 months out if the year you won't use it, plus clean up the floor board.
It'll work great, especially if you add other seats and the OE rear heater won't fit, but the 80 will.
Report back how it goes so I can follow your lead, since in hoping for something similar.

They're formed copper, but they do have a rubber coating on them. Connect to the heater and Ts with rubber hoses.

Good to know. Yes I need those lines. Anyone got a set? PM incoming midgainc.
Chris- Thats too much work for something I hardly plan on using. Easiest path will be to replace the lines, unless they are made of $GOLD$

Hi, On one of my cruisers there has been water line in there for over 10 years. Mike

Here is my line. The issue is that the rubber end where it meets the copper pipe failed. It split. So I figured I'd try to bypass it. But now I may as well fix it right. These are all rubber, no copper in the middle. Being a 1-owner vehicle, I seriously doubt the PO even changed these. So I am guessing they are original?
chris- nope, I appreciate the suggestion. If I lived further north where heat was more of an issue, I would look for a better solution.
I cant get myself to put in hose Mike, green wont match
I guess I need to see if I can find some high temp rubber- maybe mcmaster carr as some.
