Another BRAKE HOSE question…

Installing disc/2.5 drop on a ’67 using western spindles.
I have an old junk drivers side hose off a donor truck for test fit but I cant seem to make it fit from front (like later models) or the rear (like the orig routing). The steel part of the hose has a factory bend just before the banjo flange and the caliper has what appears to be a channel (or hose groove) that clocks the brake hose so that it only mounts from the top.

So the question…
Are you guys using factory late model (73-87) truck hoses with the bend or a hose from a car that doesn’t have the bend? It looks like the car ones might work if I keep the orig routing…


(when will I learn to just buy the “kit” so I don’t have to chase everything down?) lol
