Correct radator hoses - Best source? - 11/13/11 01:07 PM

I've been shopping around for correct radiator hoses (2863245), (2863244) and noticed various restoration parts houses offering them. Are they all sourced from the same vendor or is there a difference from one source to the next?

Thanks!

Stamped by Frank Badalson hoses? Are these the restoration hoses found in the latest Mopar Performance catalog?

Thanks for the info!

Weren't the originals a different look regarding the ribs were spiraled vs. what's available now?

Zoom in on the upper Radiator hose.

I can't make any sense of which ones are supposed to have the pentastar and which ones aren't. I'm in the market for a 2863256 and 257, but I've seen both of them with and with out the pentastar.
