SPF - Small Block radiator hoses

Does anyone know what is used by SPF for the upper radiator to connector tube hose?

My SPF came with the Cool Flex Hose and has a SB with the surge tank setup. I prefer the look of the SPF rubber hoses with connector tubes instead.

I ordered the hose kit from HillBank and the upper hose doesn't seem to be correct. They are telling me to use one of the elbow hoses (RH7391). This doesn't seem correct as they suggested I cut the hose by the elbow. This would make the hose way to short.

I know I can run down to the auto parts store and pick up a hose that will work, but I want it to match the thickness, brand and look of the rest of the SPF hoses.

Anyone know where I can find the correct hose and it's part number?

Attached is a picture of what I'm looking for.

Thanks,
Dan

Check out the upper from a 1995 351 Bronco.

I've have my original hose in my parts box. but there is no part number on it. I replaced it when I added the stainless tank. I'll get the number of the new hose tonight. Drop me an email to remind me...I actuall found one that fits nicer. What is the diameter of the steel tube extension section on your car?
