Re: upper radiator hose
I ended up using a Gates 20416 that I trimmed a couple inches off the thermostat end, which is the equivalent to the one G-Money is using. The other pain was that I had to stretch the hose onto the radiator, since the inlet is 1.75" for some reason.
I picked up a couple other hoses and the one below, Gates 20868, would probably work well with a center mounted forward pointing thermostat housing with some trimming.
Note: for the bottom I used a Gates 20637, which is the equivalent to the Auto Zone recommendation. Keep in mind my truck has the long water pump.
