my a/c, in the 81, had a rub through right where it went through the rad core. i had tried for months to trace the leak but gave up. found it after i ripped it apart and there was no repairing it. a piece of heater hose, like you did, would have saved mine. good job on the truck. looks good.
mine looked like yours except it was 2wd. 3" body lift, 1 ton front springs, 33/12.50/15 tires. kept it 15 years. rust from the firewall finally did it in when both door rockers were gone after 300K miles.
