Sounds to me as if the one that you got (bought) is corrtect and the one that was on the truck was made with the least amount of bends possible.

Now you can always bend your own. I did.

As for the new line and it breaking because the engine is "flexing". I don't think you will have to worry about that steel line is pretty durable. You may want to get some clips to secure it( the line) to the frame. You are more likely to rub a hole in it then to have it "break" from flexing. If you enging is moving a lot you may want to check your motor mounts.

Good luck
