Welcome to FTE goldwingflyer. Not familar with this part but could it not be made up locally if you can not obtain one easily else where? What does this pipe look like and is it a metal pipe that a muffler shop could make up for you? Sorry, this is all that I can come up with for now and good luck.

Upper radiator pipe
FoMoKo1-Thanks-Yes ,I had two pipes made but then I came by an NOS pipe and compared it to the locally made ones. The die used for the bending operation causes a necked down area that is just to pronounced-looks odd and just won't do for a first class restoration.I will keep looking. Somewhere out 'there' is another NOS pipe for my truck.

goldwingflyer, here is my two cents worth, for what its worth, maybe you could purchase some of those J-bends I see advertised and cut off what you need. Or just go to your NAPA store and look at the premade tail pipes, take a NOS pipe or bend a piece of copper tubing to the shape and hold it up to the pipes and compair it to the bends. Cut out the part you need that has the best shape. I think they roll the bends and don't have that kink.
