Default Radiator hoses

Seems like with all the diff combos, radiators, turbos, etc, there is def not one size fits all hoses-I found this NAPA site that has them all listed by size, and pictures. If you follow it down there are pics, and they list length, and hose end size. Thought it might help someone, as I am now looking for hoses, lol.

If you’re using a straight water neck and the radiator outlet is in the right (passengers side) I used a lower hose from a 5.0 Ford Explorer. A little trim on each end and we’re good to go. Upper hose number, I can grab later. But I run a single pass radiator and an LS3 pump. So the pump outlet is on the driver’s side of the pulley. Not sure if you’re the same.

I am using the Griffin LS radiator, sup. to be 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 in/out, 2011
style truck WP, and will decide on the thermostat housing when the rad. is in place-its on the truck for del today, so I should have a good idea what I can look for. Figure if I cant find one from that selection it doesn't exist, lol.
May end up splicing 2 diff sizes together, had to do that on another one.
