If you call Russ Martin directly the price may be a little lower. I've wondered about a part number as well. The ones I've ordered from him don't have legible numbers..........

It shows 1372861 for the upper and 1372827 for the lower.  Replacement hoses, not NOS.

I use a Gates 20704 for the upper non-A/C hose. Unsure if it's the same as Russ's.
Original application is an early 70's Ford intermediate. Only $16 from Amazon or $10 from Rockauto.

sjfd04 is correct for the  non-A/C upper. If you have an A/C car, the upper is 1372862. All Group 1.159. The lower hose is the same for either application.
