What would you do about these heater tubes at the heater core end?

jmardyMember

I'm in the "while I'm in there stage" and decided to replace the heater core lines.
Yikes. Nasty.
I'm tempted to cut off the end of the tube where it is corroded.
Since the hose goes so far down the tubes, is that a good idea?

I've seen mentions of Gates 28477 hose but these appear to be 3/4" on the tube side and 5/8 on the heater core side. Is that correct?

If so do I need to order proper lines from Wilkinson's?
