'72 4x4 Radiator Hose Lengths????

Can anyone tell me the correct lengths for the two straight hoses that connect the upper steel radiator hose on a '72 4x4 (350)? Photo borrowed from Sharpie1972.

I can measure tonight when I'm home from work. I believe I kept my original hoses for just this purpose.

One on the radiator is 5 3/4", other is 4 1/2" on my K20. Of course they have been replaced a few times over the last 40 years so those may not be exact OEM measurements, but they fit nicely!

I come up with 7.25" & 3.25". That is original GM hoses on a 72 350

My rad. hose is intact, so the 7.25" should be right on.

My water neck hose is a little twisted, so it varies 3.125" to 3.25"

Maybe some other members can check and compare also.
