Looking for air conditioning hoses for my 73 BB. At one time I had seen a posting of a person that built them. From what I remember he was located in Texas. Any help would be great.

I see Eckler's carries a/c hoses for a '73 big block. Expensive suckers. That or you can probably find them on flea bay.

I bought the set for my '74 from Mid America way back when. Pretty pricey even then(around $300 iirc). They are NOT 100% "correct", if you plan on having it Judged, but it's only a minor difference in the shape of the crimps on the hoses. If you're not concerned with looking "correct", other supplier's wares are just a good. I have heard of a place here that does make them, but can't think of the name off-hand.
