Hi b,
I believe Quanta Products is a good choice for reproduction fan and accessory belts.
Regards,
Alan

Hi b,
I had to think about the hoses a bit.

The various larger vendors sell reproduction radiator hoses.
They appear to be the proper configuration but don't seem to have the various markings (colored longitudinal stripe for example) that the original hoses did.
So your choices are pretty limited.

I'd consider:
Paragon Corvette Reproductions
Corvette Central
Zip Corvette

Regards,
Alan

Do your homework on the grooves and markings on heater hoses too.

it is a driver so I am not nuts about exactness but I want it to look, as much as possible, correct but not be afraid to go on a 2 hour drive with the car. I ordered heater hoses from doc rebuild.

Hi b,
"it is a driver"
In that case I think the hoses from the vendors I listed, (and others), will be fine for you.
Regards,
Alan
