Default 78 Lower Radiator Hose

Guys, I replaced my lower radiator hose about 2 years ago and did not use a hose with the spring installed. I am about to install a Dewitts Radiator and want the correct hose for obvious reasons. Does anyone know if the GM part #379933 which is the correct part # for the lower radiator hose from gmpartsdirect.com has the spring. Should I just buy it from Ecklers, MAM, ZIP etc and do their hoses have the spring installed. No one says if their hoses have the spring! A reputable lower hose with spring source will do as well. Thanx.
