A friend asked me to help find a source for the thread-in fitting atop a '57 341/345 DeSoto onto which a cooling hose clamps. Here's a picture. I know I've seen them "somewhere", but so far haven't found where. Any help? Thanks!

Take the old one to a NAPA store
I got some of those there years ago.
They were in the heater and A/C section of their older books that had pictures of those kind of plumbing parts.
Maybe a red shop would have books listing that kind of stuff.
Parts book says that car should have a model 705 heater
For what it's worth (probably not much) it looks like the original part number for that application is 1838-024

Thanks, guys. I know one can be obtained that will work, most anywhere, but the goal is to get one that looks like the original. One of the ones from O'Reilly, above looks pretty good.

I agree. That one from NAPA is the winner!
