having trouble finding lower radiator hose for 67 olds 442. purchased ones from various olds sites and crossed ref GM number with gates still no luck, has anyone else had this problem they all seem to come up a little short

 

I have used both dayco and goodyear hoses and as of a few years ago they were long enough. I wonder if they have changed them.
OE 390923
dayco 70549
goodyear 60684
gates 20595
ac delco 22041m

 

have you measured the overall length to see if you can find a universal hose of otherwise correct diameter ends to fit?
