Anyone have a part number for a upper radiator hose in a 50 chevy truck with a 5.3?

I used one of these universal ones to get around my cold air tube. I'd be interested in finding a stock type ones for a better look, but it works for now. Were you able to find a good one for the lower?

I cut a stock one for a 01 silverado but i also have billet swivel t stat housing

If you don't mind me asking, what swivel t stat housing did you use? I bought a used one that was supposedly name brand, but the ridge for the o-ring was practically non-existent so it slipped and leaked and I gave up on it. I'm willing to pay the money for a good one, but I want to make sure I get something quality.
