Upper/Lower radiator hoses same part#?

[Monkeybutt2000]

Was planning on swapping my radiator today,but was having trouble sourcing the lower hose. Called a few more places and they said they were the same part#,just cut to fit. Can anyone verify this?

Toyota has separate parts numbers for those. They are pre cut to length and formed with bends. Are you going thru parts stores or a dealership?

Parts stores,don't even want to know what Toyota wants for them. Looking at them they appear to be the same?

Not really.

16571-07030 Upper
16572-62070 Lower

NAPA does show the same cross for both:

NBH 8249 (It says upper for both numbers. Then, in description, it says "Factory Molded To Fit Specific Applications.Recommended For Upper, Lower, By-Pass, Heater & Other Coolant Hose Applications.")

Kinda like the old Midas ad, "I'll make it fit."

I looked at my old ones I kept in the trail spare box. They start and stop in the same places and have the same diameter, but the bends are a little different along the way. Looks like NAPA is $13 each, dealer is $18 each.

I'll probably just order the Toyota ones,I can wait another week. What's a good Toyota parts house? Any T4R sponsors?
