What year is the truck? 60-66 didn't have the heater hose going to the radiator. One will be on the intake and the other goes to the water pump. You can see in this picture the hose coming off of the intake and the other that you can't see is going to the water pump.

Look on the water pump and see if it has a plug where a hose end might go.

I agree with Chevy Fleetside. The '60-'66 truck radiator did not have a nipple for the heater return hose. The return hose connects to the water pump. The supply to the heater core comes from the intake. If your radiator does have a heater return nipple it is not an original style radiator. Maybe post a pic of what you have?
