1971 Double Cab

Is there a seal that should go here on the fluid hose through the metal body?

Probably an ordinary rubber grommet. Measure hose and hole diameter, and hit the local hardware store. Slit it, slip it over the hose, and jam it in place.

Thanks everyone....if I can't find the part number(s) online, I'll find a suitable one at the hardware store. Thanks.
