Default Transmission Cooler Line Mystery.

I am looking for a specific part for my 98 Ram 1500 that for some reason is very elusive. It is the part that connects to the lower transmission cooler line and threads into the radiator. It looks like this:

I cannot, for the life of me, find this anywhere! I've checked Advance, Autozone, Ebay, and even Rockauto. It seems like this part doesn't exist anywhere or at least... I can't find it. Please if you know what it's called or where it's sold let me know!

Can't buy that, only way to get it is to make one (I have in the past) or buy a new radiator

Ok, what do I need to buy to make it? Pipe & size, and what tools do I need? Is it difficult to do?

Not difficult to do, but the tool is kind of expensive and you need it to create the flare on both ends. Can't remember the pipe, size, or thread. I always just measure them. I don't do them a lot but I do them enough lol
