Default Trans cooler lines 87 D150

Hey all,
Just sitting here at work returning some parts and picking up a few for to finish up my radiator replacement. AND i forgot the diameter of the hard trans cooler lines at the radiator. I want to pick up new rubber line to attach to the rad. can anyone tell me what size rubber line I need? thanks all.

On a side note, if anyone wants to updgrade their headlights to Wagner BrightLights H6054BL, the headlamp is too deep to fit the metal housing that the lamp fits into. At least on mine it is...

Thanks!

I got a new NAPA Radiator, since I get an employee discount But I was really happy with it. The box wasn't damaged, which surprised me, since I know how often the parts for older vehicles get shipped around. It was very nicely built, OEM spec aluminum radiator with plastic tanks and transmission cooler. There were no problems with the fitment. Matter of fact, one of my old bolts snapped at the head, but there happened to be another larger hole on the radiator frame that lined up with the support, so a new bolt and fender bolts and it works fine.

Thanks! I went ahead and ordered a Ready Rad Radiator (Vista-Pro), Part No 433190 that just arrived. It is missing the oil cooler fittings, I am waiting for those to arrive before installing. I don't think this model has plastic, some of the smaller ones did. I will need to be drilling one or two holes for attaching.
