Rear heater lines

I have searched with little luck, and when I call the auto parts store (couple of them) they either do not carry or have no idea what I am talking about.

Anyone know where I can look to buy a set of antifreeze lines that go the length of my truck, or do I have to custom make the lines?

Re: Rear heater lines

If they are just lines like are used to connect the front heater core, you should be able to find them at a local parts store. Most of the local places here call them heater hoses, not heater lines....just an fyi. My only concern would be finding one who has enough length of it in stock.

If they are some type of hard line(I personally don't know what the stock rear heater lines look like, as my Sub has an aftermarket rear heat)then hopefully someone else can help.

they are metal hard lines. they are pretty rusted and yesterday I got a leak in the rear. I wish they were just hose. that would be an easy fix.

LMC has 'em, but they're not cheap. Also as a last resort you could convert to regular heater hose.

LMC is usually high priced for a lot of their parts. The good news is....usuallly, if LMC has 'em, then someone else will have 'em for cheaper.
