Is my upper radiator hose right?

Do I have the correct upper radiator hose or is it turned wrong and just needs to be rotated on the inlet and outlets?

Looks about right for an AC equipped truck. It does that to clear the compressor belt. If you have no plans to restore AC, you could probably use a hose for a non-AC rig.

You can fix that PS bracket hanging in space with a piece of 3/8 pipe cut to fit and a longer exhaust bolt.

Ok, that's what I thought too. I currently have to fan shroud on it and it looks like it goes way too high but it makes sense that it's clearing the compressor. It did have AC but not connected and probably won't go back on.

Does anybody have the correct hose part number for NON-AC ?

ps: that's an old pic.......... the motor looks much better now.

That's exactly how mine is. I have AC as well.
