Upper Radiator Hose

Looking to see what others have done.

Truck 1949 3800

Engine swap from 216 to 261

I have found the perfect lower radiator hose but from what I am finding on the webs and Jim Carters site I am not finding an upper radiator hose that follows gets me from the thermostat housing to the radiator.

With this conversion the Thermostat housing is larger than the Radiator inlet. I understand that a larger hose is used and double up at the radiator. I tried a 1962 hose, same year as the motor but due to the angles it kinks. Even when I trim the hose down. it is the kink back to the Thermostat housing.

So what have others done here? Any part number would help of what you had used.
