Coolant hoses

Looking for 2 hoses for my truck. 2002 F250 7.3.

I can't find the 2 hoses that connect to the expansion tank. The small hose on top,

and the hose that goes from the bottom of the expansion tank into the radiator. (don't have a picture of this one)

I just recently did injector cups due to diesel in the coolant and I'd like to replace as many of the diesel soaked hoses as possible. Thanks.

Ebay has many ID sizes. I imagine 30R6 or 30R7 will work.

The top hose, 3/8" ID appears to be the top hose I have pictured in my original post. I was thinking there was a pre-bent one I could buy, the one rock auto is showing is just a roll of hose.

The molded hose they show is the lower hose, so that's half of what I'm looking for haha.

The original top hose (cut hose in the pic with the T barb) is molded and a different size at each end. Discovered this when I deleted my coolant filter a few months ago. Tried straight injection hose but no go. I used a barb fitting with the different size hoses on each end, works fine.

Be nice to get the correct hose, but 3 years ago when I installed the kit I cut off the section with the Ford part number. D'oh!

On edit: my google-fu is stronger today! Top hose from degas bottle to rad is part number F81Z-8075-AB, on Amazoo for $24.
