it looks like that adapter part would be easy enoiugh to fab but try to use a pipe that can be coated so it doesn't rust up the cooling system.

Researching and buying and using the highest quality hose designed for a specific purpose on these trucks an absolute must if you are going to do serious driving. More so when running an LS.
