dorman makes the joint for it. It's just a 3/4" to 5/8"

the smaller hose from the water pump isn't exactly 5/8" (its .59") so youll have to really work on getting the joint on there....

If you plan at any point replacing the heater core... DO NOT CUT THE HOSES. They are dealer only overpriced parts... .about 60 buck a pop. So if you can manage it just try to make it straight through.
