Upper Radiator Hose and water neck??

[SuperCtruck]

Any pictures of the upper radiator hose for a Chevy 283? I'm trying to stay as stock looking as possible!!

The upper radiator inlet is on driver side, so my problem is I have to purchase either a center water neck or one that face towards the driver side. My other issue is I'm looking at maybe purchasing the metal tube and coupling kit for my upper hose?!! Please let me know what you guys have done to make it work and look CLEAN! Thanks

I will be using a fan and radiator shroud

With the oil fill tube in the intake manifold, you will need to use the straight, forward facing thermostat housing. For the upper hose, you can use either the reproduction pipe and hose couplings or use a solid rubber hose. The solid hose many have used is Car Quest #20607. Other manufacturers use a similar number.

Keep in mind stock is the steel pipe with short hoses and the 20607 hose is NOT for these trucks but fits pretty well
