What coolant hose connects to the top of my throttle body?

When i bought my truck it had no engine and no parts so im still getting it how it should be. Heres a pic of the hose that i have coming off it. It goes to the radiator cap, just below it. There is another one that looks like it should go there too coming from the water pump(bolted to alt). 93 351

Uhhhh thats wrong. The hose off your rad by the cap should run to the coolant res on the drivers side with you washer fluid. I think that port off the throttle body (or does it go to the intake?) Goes to the charcol canister on the passenger side frame rail below the battery.

If nobody beats me to it I will get a picture of one of my 351 powered trucks engine bays when I get home.

Under my radiator cap theres two hoses that come off of it. One goes to the tank and the other goes to the top of my throttle body. Just wondering if that is right or not.

That's right, its the bottom one that goes to the intake... 97 F-250 HD 5.8 L The hose runs across the top of the rad. and goes to intake just to the left of the alt in this picture.. The other hose from the throttle body tees into a heater hose fitting on the intake below the throttle body.. I don't have a good picture of it but I can get some tomorrow if needed..

It should be branching off from one of the heater hose connectors that goes into the block. I have a 460 and I've just bypassed this because I live in California and it doesn't get cold enough for the throttle body to freeze. That's the only job of coolant going through there.
