Hi Roger,

This is from the Tech Trivia section at the to of the page.

Bottom hose off a 1999 GM pickup works on the bottom (cutting to match).
I had to use two different hoses at the top....at least on my 1999 5.7 the water neck is a different
diameter than the radiator neck. Moroso makes a radiator cap hose adapter that works if you run into this...

I did not try the above listed hoses.... they very well may work, but I had issues with the diameter of the hose on the top side.
