Default correct upper radiator hose available?

Dumb question, but has anyone had to buy a new upper radiator hose that was able to get the correct pre-bent one instead of a "universal" bendable hose? if so, where did you get it or order it from, and do I need a part # or is this something easy enough to get from parts stores? Thanks! Steve

Thank you sclor - the guys at my O'Reilley are saying Gates is telling them the pt # Jeannie gave me is now invalid despite the fact he can pull it on his screen and see a picture of it....so I may try Rock auto - thanks!

Well Sclor, the one I need is the one you show to be stocked in the outlying warehouse, but Rockauto will not allow me to put it in my basket to order it because they say it is discontinued or something?
