I have a 1973 Plymouth scamp with a 360 4bbl it has a northern crossflow radiator
I bought a upper radiator hose and its too short any suggestions ?

Take that one back and see if they will let you go through the hoses to try to match one up thats a little longer?
 
You might check out a hose that would fit a *99 Dakota V6. That thing must be 3 feet long? Might have to trim it on both ends.

It wouldnt work to trim both ends of a Dakota hose, only the rad end. I would get a hose off a 97-99 dakota 5.2 not V6. You may very well have to trim a bit off the rad end but probably not much. Its a Gates 22288, give it a try, we use them regularly doing Magnum swaps in A bodies if upper hose is all the way to drivers side.
 
I had a Norther Rad in my 70 340 Duster. I used a upper hose off a 87 Dodge Truck 318 with air. Had to trim a little but fit perfect.
 
Man, your suggested solutions to problems are so simple and basic it's amazing. :D
How do you do it?

I try to keep it simple and not convoluted like answers to electrical questions.
