Armond ,I have only seen one pair of NOS 67/68 oil cooler lines in all my years of parts hound scrounging . With that said don't pass up a nice used set consequently waiting for a NOS one. The chances are not 0% but they are low for success IMHO. A less then new finish can be replated. FYI the rubber of the hose is date coded . The hose must be made large batches as many match each other but the hose does not necessarily match the date codes of the aluminum ID tags which are probably assembly dates. That is if that matters.

Thanks for the info Bob, I just thought I'd give a try.   The problem with the ones I have is the original owner for some reason changed them out for braided hoses,  I am going to try and get some made up if I have to. so we will see. Thanks!
