Was it converted to R134 when the compressor was replaced, or are you still
running an R12 system? If its still R12, then you need to find out when
your truck was built (before or after 4/91) to get the right part. If it
was converted, all bets are off.

The easiest way is to take off the old hose & take it with you to match up
with the dealer's stock (or parts book) to get the right one.

If it doesn't match anything, you can always take it to an A/C shop and have
a new one made.
