Default Hard to find part help!

I've been looking for a heater hose fitting for a 1995 f150 with a 302. That part sits on the intake manifold, sorry I don't have a picture but I do have the part number from ford, ford part f4tz18472b. Any help chasing one down will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Check LMC Truck. I bet they would have it!

Here are the search results that came up for "Heater Hose"

Your parts number has been superseded by parts number .F4TZ18472BA.
Unfortunately at least at Ford the part has been discontinued.

I think I know the part in question a photo would be great if it is what I think you can cobble up a perfectly good replacement for it.

Any idea where I could find one, or should I try the salvage yards?

I think I know the part you are talking about. Is it a fitting with two openings at right angles above and to one side of the upper hose connection? see the photo below. If this is the part in question you can fabricate a perfectly OK part out of brass pipe fittings. one threaded nipple, one "T" fittings, two hose fittings, one of the hose fittings a 90 degree. This will cost more then the stock part but it will do just as good a job. First you should look to get this part from a junk yard.

I had to think about the one I fabricated for an old Cadillac I built one just as described above.
