What radiator hose's to use with an alumninum rad?

What hose's have you guys used with a cross flow radiator in
an A body.
I got a alum. radiator and what to put it in.
I was thinking later B body with an a engine hose's.
Then just cutting to fit.
what you guys think?

I took some measurements and went in back of the auto parts store to look at all their hoses and got what I thought would work the best for my griffin radiator.

Why not go with this style of hose? They are just about burst proof, look great and hold any shape you bend them too. They are really pricey though...

Bend a piece of welding rod in the right configuration, and take it to the parts store. Go to the back and try matching one up.

I used one off a 1996 dodge dakota v6 it worked perfect.

I used an early 70's V8 Dart top hose. Minor trimming..
