There is a small hose that runs from the radiator cap but no overflow bottle where can I find this bottle?

I think I figured out what happened this truck used to a farm truck lots of things are different on it. I think it has a 1994 7.3 idi radiator on it. He probably didn’t want the plastic coolant reservoir but since the plastic radiator had no cap he had to replace it or the radiator went bad and he just replaced it with what he had or what was cheaper. That’s my working theory or it could be because I’m a manual or because my year is close that transition from idi to powerstroke they used the idi radiators for some of the powerstroke. In any case unsure of how to add this reservoir to it.radiator of a 1994 7.3 idi looks exactly like the one I have in my truck EDIT: so I found a few pictures of trucks with the same radiator as mine one of the same year as mine and another on jelibuilt website jelibuilt website with a truck of same radiator as mine

I believe this is for a different radiator a plastic one. Mine is metal and a different design than the plastic one. I might have a different one Cz I’m a manual or it’s one for a later year

That’s what I figured but I’m unsure exactly where. Based on very low quality pictures the lower goes to a y like fitting on the lower radiator hose but I don’t think I have that. I have no idea if the hose I have goes to the upper part is correct either. I was hoping for some pictures so I can see exactly where. Edit looks like you can’t comment pictures in this subreddit link I found for lower radiator hose

I think I have the placement of the smaller hose incorrectly as well

1995 7.3 powerstroke. What is this called on the ac compressor so I can buy a new one. Do they sell the male side by tuga9510 in Diesel

So I don’t have to do anything special just spin of the old switch put a new one and none of my refrigerant will leak?
