I know the radiator on my silverado is aftermarket. When I removed the old rusty transmission cooler lines they were definately a patchwork job with some compression fittings to installed at certain spots on the hose to match up with the radiator.

Is there an easy way to purchase lines that will bolt right on? Or do I need to maybe buy braided hose to connect these lines?

This is a 1997 extended cab with a 5.7 vortec.
