I am working on putting a VW Super Beetle body on an S10 4wd Blazer chassis. I am putting the radiator in the back and I want to know how to run the radiator hose to the back. Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks!

I read "radiator hose" and "VW" in the same sentence, and had one of those flashback chuckles from the 70's.

We used to torment the newbies, asking them to look up a radiator cap for a '73 bug.

that's always fun.. oil filter too. The screen is available at the parts counter still, but they have to know to look for it.

Metal tube front to rear with rubber hose connections each end.

You can check out Matt's V8 Super beetle build at: V8 Super Beetle

I don't know exactly where in the thread is the radiator part, but just going through the whole thing would probably give you lots of ideas.......

Agreed. Then spray foam the whole thing with something like Rhino bed liner to resist rusting and abrasion.

I made a mid engine truck and used exhaust tubing with a short piece of hose at each end, worked like a charm.

Just a suggestion, Copper water pipe. More expensive than steel, but no rust. Stainless steel is also a possibility.
