Part number for a upper radiator hose..needed?

[rarefish]

I'm trying to find a replacement upper radiator hose for my 68 R/T with a 22" radiator. Local part store gave me one that looks like it is for the 26" radiator (Lots of extra bends) then they told me just cut it to fit. I tried the local Dodge dealer and had no luck there. Any advice??

If all else fails, you might check out this item on YearOne's website:

I don't know for certain that the hose is correct, but it might be a far sight better than what you could get from an auto parts store.  Sorry I couldn't help out any more than that.

The factory P/N is 1881806, used from '58-'72 on BB B bodies with 22" radiator.

Looks like the Gates #21660 hose might be the right one. I will just have to buy one to find out,   thanks for the help.

The bend does not match up exactly but works fine, I thought they gave me the wrong hose, took it back once but tht was the number.
