Yep, did this for years. A good parts store will have a LOT of hoses to go through. Keep an open mind in that you may get a hose 2 feet long and cut both ends ending up with a foot long hose for your truck. The bends can be less than perfect but end up working well. So keep an open mind when you are making your template too, make a few different ones so you can have some options as to where the bends really need to be, often they can be moved quite a bit, as long as the ENDS are where they need to be.
