I've done some internet searches and I could not find a source for molded radiator hoses for my '77 403. Am I condemned to a life of flex hoses?

I don't have the book in front of me right now as I am in bed recovering from surgery on my arm yesterday in a third surgical attempt to bring some feeling back to my right hand. It has atropied badly due to lack of nerve connection to the muscles.
I am typing this on my iPhone right now with my left hand.

Emery: I (and I am sure we all) wish you a full and speedy recovery. Once again even in difficult conditions, you have helped someone out. And every time I boil pasta water in my SOB trailer, I think of how nicely the modification to give more heat from a burner that you came up with works. Good thoughts to you.

Bill ;
I have a '403 and know your problem ~
NAPA and others do not show any cross reference numbers for the '403 ~
The '455 Hoses Are Different
but the 455 Lower hose will work if you cut off about 3 inches ~
{attach to motor and tighten clamp and cut off excess on the other end when you attach it to the radiator} ~
The Upper 455 Hose Is Molded With Different Curves Than The '403 BUT WILL WORK IN A PINCH If You Stretch It ~
{It Will Work Temporary Until You Can Get The Correct '403 Hoses} ~
I've had to do that as a temporary fix when on the road after I let another '403 owner have my spares ~
I Got My '403 Hoses From Jim Bounds GMCcoop {Same Day Shipping} ~
His '403 Hose Prices Are In Line With The NAPA '455 Hose Prices ~
{His shipping charges are close to our local sales tax charges}
I keep Spare Hoses And Belts in my LPG Compartment `
~ Joe ~
BTW, How close are you to Grandview ?
{He may have the '403 hoses}
