As far as I know I've seen only two types, the narrow 6 cylinder and the wide 8 cylinder. Then I've seen large and small hose diameters depending on brand. I have an aluminum radiator in my Bonnewagon that is supposed to be a 4 row equivalent and it fit perfectly. It was offered for all the A-G body lines in the RockAuto catalog. Actual hoses will be determined by engine brand, as not all water pumps/intakes are positioned the same.

When I've run across different hose fitting diameters, I buy for the larger, and shim the smaller to fit.

I have an aluminium rad wich has the 1 3/4" neck for the lower hose instead of the 1 1/2" or the G body rad. I got mine out of our race shop so I don't know what it came off of and it's getting soft so I did some research. I just picked up a lower hose for a 68 Caprice with the 307 (chevy) and it looks like it should fit. It's 1 3/4" hose for it's full length.
