I want to replace every tube....vacuum....heater....Whatever on my 1988 4X4 pickup...Where to find the rubber? charlie

 

I have never used or known someone with a "kit" for this but they exist. Everything usually gets pieced together. Most of this stuff you could piece together from "on the roll" hose, like at auto parts store or online vendor. There are a few specialized hoses that you may have to source from dealer or online vendor, such as a shaped PCV hose. In my area most stuff is stocked because toyota trucks are popular. There may be a compiled list of all the hoses and sizes, search function and Google still work in that case

 

Thanks..I just got a 3" hose from Toyota for $21 ...Formed of course...I'll take my wants to auto zone or wherever....I have a heater line that makes 3 turns and from where or what, to where I do not know...Truck is here without coolant till I get one...Then to a shop and say DO IT....One hose broke 3 days after another....Thanks Charlie

 

I use Gates Rubber hose PN# 20801, around $10. It comes is a "S" shaped form, but when you cut the lower part off, it looks identical to the orginal and has the larger opening coming off of the water pump and the smaller end for the horseshoe pipe.

Gates PN#20801, just cut off where my finger is at. Alot cheaper then the dealer.


Here it is cut to length and on. I need to get some new hose clamps to finish the job.
