Lower Radiator Hose...ARRRGGHH

[csfields]

I am rebuilding my truck which can be seen at the link below. I have a new 350SBC Crate motor with a long style water pump. I am using a 4 core radiator and have purchased all regular brackets, hardware etc. Upper hose, no issue. Lower hose has been a pain. I went a purchased a hose for a 71 Chevy truck and it wont fit. After going to some cruise this spring I have discovered that a "stock "radiator lower neck comes out and up at an angle and the radiator I have comes straight out. I am sure, or at least I hope that I am not the only one to have encountered this problem. Any ideal part number, ideas, or whatever would be great, short of telling me to purchase a new radiator.
