radiator hose location

[ampsyco]

i've got a 70 gmc 1500 2wd pickup. my lower radiator hose sits on the frame. enough to be wearing into it. i got a new hose today and lt looks like the radiator i've got in there might be incorrect. the diameter of the hose is much larger than the diameter of the inlet of the radiator. also it looks like the inlet should be up about 6 or 7 inches from the base of the radiator. mines right at the bottom.

anyone have any pics of their radiator ?? or can someone tell me if their inlet is higher up than right at the bottom ?? mines a manual trans no ac but i dont think that really makes a difference where the hoses are located.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
