I hope someone here can provide you the easy answer.  

Here's an alternative, just in case you are in a hurry...

If you don't have the old hoses to match up, record the following sets of measurements for each hose:

 1. Outer diameter of the fittings on the radiator and engine,
 2. Vertical difference between openings,
 3. Horizontal distance from the 'hose fully seated' position on each opening
 4. Straight line distance between the bottom center of each opening.  

Armed with that info, a parts store should be able to match you up with some hoses that fit, and you can take a tape measure to verify in the store that they'll fit.

Napa has it or other suppliers. Radiator Upper is 1.750" X 5 to 6".   Lower is 1.250" X 4 to 5".  I just buy a foot of each and cut to size. That gives you a spare.  The 1.750" is also the same size for the upper air filter tube. The lower is 1.50"
