Engine compartment hose sizes
Greetings,
Im new to the site but I am a long time Toyota pickup owner. I’ve had a 1985, 1986 and a 1987. The 86 was a Father’s Day gift for my dad. We were broke and could only afford a base 4 speed standard truck for him. No rear bumper, radio, power steering or AC. It was $5,600 out the door. So here I am nearly 40 years later. Dad has long since passed away. I’m a spry 70 years old and I get a great deal of pleasure driving the little truck around. It’s still in very nice shape. I have friends who are very seriously into these trucks and they installed AC, power steering and an interior from a 4Runner of that era. It all fits perfectly. It’s very nice. It’s only got 67k miles on it. I do a lot of the work on it myself. Lately I’ve run into some difficulty finding all of the various hoses under the hood. I’ve replaced all of the small vac hoses ( that was fun) radiator hoses, heater hoses. The brake booster hose and check valve, and the carburetor fuel lines have eluded me so far. I’m wondering if one of you kind and knowledgeable folks may be able to show me where to find these hoses. I’d like to keep things metric and close to original as I can if that’s possible.
I find great pleasure surfing around these pages that you’ve put together. I may even consider myself a regular.

Welcome as well!
Open the hood and look on the firewall for a metal plate. That’ll have your vehicle’s model number. The online parts catalog like Millball mentioned will use that. Yours is most likely something like RN50L-XXX.
