Part of it will depend on what outlet you have on the thermostat housing and what the inlet sizes is on the radiator. Stock radiators have a smaller inlet that causes issues when hooking up a V8
The best shape upper hose may come from buying a long hose with the right ID and a nice curve in it and cutting it to fit your truck.
