Another part option found for radiator hoses. I will look to see if there is a radiator hose compatibility thread but these two Gates hoses from O'Reilly's match the profile nearly perfect once you trim the excess.

I FINALLY found the correct speedometer cable for my '69 (female at transfer, male at speedo) which is different from my Dad's '68.
