I Know that that the LS7 oil cooler lines have a thermostat built in, do the truck lines? Looking for a low profile set of lines without a thermostat and i will run a remote one

As far as i know, the LS7 lines do not have a thermostat built in.

I did not think it did until i was looking at it on the improved racing website and the part description was lines w/ thermostat

Thanks for the catch, that was actually a mistake on the website.

It doesn't have a thermostat, it's actually an oil pressure bypass valve. However it does function somewhat like a thermostat because it essentially bypasses some oil around the cooler when the pressure drop across the cooler is high, which occurs when the oil viscosity is high, i.e. when the oil is cold. But the valve is very tiny and I doubt it bypasses any significant amount of oil.
