You can run either the radiator or the waterpump for the 3/4 hose. The 5/8 will still go to the intake. The heater core should tell which way to go, the smaller of the two will go to the intake. Actually you cant really hook up the hoses wrong on the core...

Radiator to top heater (3/4" = larger hose).
Lower heater (5/8" = smaller) to control valve on inner fender, then to intake - Water pump blocked - This is on my stock '72 with A/C. Hope this helps! Mike

But someone could have put the heater core in up-side-down. Correct is 3/4" @ top, 5/8" @ bottom on a non-A/C truck.

I recently had almost the same questions. Turns out I had them backwards, not that it made a big difference, I wanted it to look right.
