Hi everyone, new to the forum. I have a 1982 chevy k20 that was originally a diesel. It had a 350/th350 swapped into it. Motor blew up on the guy that had it before me, it was partially being ready for the motor to be pulled then left. The transmission cooler lines are missing. I am seeking help with where I can get them other than LMC truck as I am in Canada and the shipping cost is too much. I have found a set for a 1980 k10 4wd on a website. Curious to know if those would work?

I just got a set from www.inlinetube.com


But I am in the states. So not sure what shipping would be for you. They showed up in 3 days and fit great on my 84.

Visit your local pick-and-pull junk yards...Bring a can of brake cleaner with you to flush the lines on the spot - that way you can determine if they're clogged up or not and clean/ready them for installation...

I bend up my own from parts store tubing,sold in various lengths already flared with ends on them . Dirt cheap and no waiting or incorrect fit involved.
Thats what I did with mine and installed a REAL tranny cooler. Really helped lower tranny temperature. I don't think think the radiator cooled the fluid enough.

Yep, I've made many sets of them and with a decent tubing bender, it's fairly easy to bend them up to look factory. It's just standard 5/16" line, which any parts store *should* have in stock.
