Heater Hoses

I wouldn't, the outer jacket still looks pretty good. Worst case cut em back a foot or so and splice some new hose on. Then mix up some sodium silicate in water and pour it in while the system is hot.
I would also relocate the fuse to a more accessible spot on the car, even if it is under the carpet. While you are in there, check the shut off valve, and have it rebuilt if it needs it. Looks very much like the valve on my air conditioned 1962 heater core.
Nothing worse then going out on a hot day and having that hose going to the back heater leak. Been there done that. Change it no when its easy to do.
Well , last time I
had this much fun my clothes where off. 
had this much fun my clothes where off.
Why are there 3 motors ?
One is inop , these are same as a Cadillac . Pulled one from my parts car .
Now if you gan get it back together you got something. The cores good? My luck is they are bad.
Going to have them pressure tested and repaired if needed.
One done , 1 to go .
Second one done , with rebuilt heater control valve . One thing I discovered with this project is , they make a premium heater hose . Most heater hose is a single layer of hose , the premium has a inner and outer. This had a single layer on the short piece on the heater control valve and lasted all these years , so the premium should cut it for along time.
