Coolant flow direction through oil cooler?

I was stupid and didn't mark which end was which..... so I need to know which direction the coolant flows through the cooler?

BTW, can the tube be installed either way? or could it cause a problem by switching the flow direction?

Thanks,

This is a project truck and I don't know the history of it, but I will be putting in new coolant. I need to know which way the coolant flows so I don't have any problems when I get it running.

I haven't kept one truck long enough to change the coolant more than once, but If the coolant is good quality I would change it every 50,000 or so.

Thanks, I can see it, I just need to know if the coolant flows from the front to the back, or vice versa.
