Default Trans Cooler Lines

Does anyone know where I can get some tranny cooler lines my brother wants to add my old stock cooler to his truck since his didnt come with one.
What is all that I need to get this done?

Thanks

Dealer, they aren't too expensive IIRC. You could try a junkyard but most cut the lines when they pull the trans, and those that don't probably won't sell fluid lines for liability reasons.

Consider using braided steel lines.

Rubber hose isn't the preferred method, but it will work, just be sure to flare any pipe ends that you attach the hose to so it has something to "clamp" on to if you go that route. If it were me though, I'd use the factory pre-bent lines

Oreilly's makes some darn good ones actually, and they aren't very expensive. we replaced the factory oil cooler lines on a buddy of mine's s-10 a while back and have had great results.

Are they pre-bent or universal?
