Top radiator Hose #

[Mike L.]

Just came across at NOS top hose with part # 3827368 on it , looked in my old gm parts book but don't see the number any help. Lettering is in white with large GM logo.

That's the correct number for '63-'64 L76 and L84s. Does it have a blue stripe on it?

No, it has a white stripe that is what I thought it was for, came with some old FI items. My parts booklist the top hose as # 3777482, # 368 maybe before the change to new part #. Hose has very nice grain to it, not like current repo's with the blue stripe. Mike what is on your cars?

Mike, all of my '64 L76s and L84s have the 368s, but only one, my 13K mile one, has an original hose, and yes it does not have a blue stripe, the remains of a white one, I think, it is so old even the number is almost gone though, but I can read the last 3 digits.

Mike, got a better look under better light, the remains of the stripe look blue. Number is clearly a 368.

Mike Lombardi, So called NOS top radiator hoses for '63, etc are in fact a tad too short. Jimmy Greg taught me that long ago as I had bought a short one and couldn't use it. It had all the right markings on it also. John D.

Rick, I purchased and still have TWO hose's I ordered from my local Chevy dealer back in mid 70's, One is on my 64 FI car the other in stock, both are #368 with white stripe. I was told at one time the stripe color was from different manufactures. But what about the GM parts books that call for # 482 hose as top??

Mike, We covered the info on this hose recently with Geoffrey aka Dr. Rebuild. Just a few months ago. John
