I used to get them from NAPA, but that was years ago so not sure if they still sell them.

If I'm not mistaken the ends of the defrost tubes are 2 different sizes.

From memory I had thought so too but in the ebay ad they look the same size. Looks like they may have a adapter for the repro`s?

They are. Yearone lists a set but I don't know if they are the right openings. They don't say and the picture is unclear.

When I replaced them in my 65 Cuda I just bought preheater hose that matched the larger of the two sizes and hose clamped it down on the smaller size.

Have you checked Rockauto?

Yes. They are different sizes.
I've seen a few of the ducts for A/C equiped o ebay recently, but no non-A/C versions. This is for 67-maybe 76.

Unless YO actually has something different than the other folks, we are hosed.

Seen mixed reviews of attempting to use the adapters.
I may just wrap what is left of the ones on my car with cloth tape.

The measurements made on my 67 Barracuda (w/o A/C)
21" Hose fits over 2" nozzle by floor.
25" Hose fits over 2.25" nozzle by floor.

Both hoses have 2.57 i.d. at the outlet end. The defroster grill connections measure 2.5" OD.

One of my surviving ducts has a snap lock which I've seen on some, but not all photos purporting to be NOS or original hoses.

I call them ducts (the term usually used in HVAC for air carrying) but the 67 Chrysler parts book calls them hoses.

Ask yourself...

"Self...who around here might have a set since I want to spend next to nothing?"

Now you know... realcrazy

If you know the Chrysler part #, check with www.arizonaparts.com . If they have them, call Marty. He's a barrel of fun - love him like a brother.

Go on line at Aircraft Spruce and Specialty and search Scat hose, they have different sizes.

On my 69 barracuda the ends of the hoses are slightly different sizes. I ended up purchasing Vintage Air 318010 from Jegs. The one end is a larger than what is stock, but I made it work with the help of a zip tie. I couldn't see spending the $80 for 2 hoses from Year One.

Thanks everyone, my heater box openings are 2" & 2 1/4". Vintage Air has 2" number 317110 and Dayco has 2 1/4" number 80169.

I used to sell EVERCO brand heater and ac parts. They had many different diameters that came in six foot lengths.
