Coolant pipe from radiator to throttle body

'90 F150 351W E4OD

Does anybody know the official name of the coolant piece that runs from a fitting on the radiator just below the filler neck, through a metal pipe across the top of the radiator, then to the fitting on the top of the throttle body? On my truck the metal pipe is blistering rust flakes and the hose ends look none to good. I'd like to replace it but can't find it listed in the Ford Parts Guide, or at least I'm not looking in the right place. Any suggestions?

Water Pump Bypass Tube is my best guess. Part No.# F2TZ-8555-A fits trucks with standard cooling (24" between mounting brackets). Part No.# F2TZ-8555-B is for trucks with super cooling (20" between mounting brackets).

Yup, that's the part. Now that I know the name I can find it in the Parts Text Catalog, but for the life of me I can't find it in the Illustrations Catalog. Thanks for the help. BTW, where did you look it up? It looks like an electronic source. All I've got its the dead tree version.

Edit: Tried to rep you, but I've got to spread it around some first. So instead, have one on me...
