If all else fails, the dealership.

Otherwise, bring the hose into the parts place and they can find the best match. Often it's a matter of getting a universal hose of the right diameter and basic shape, and cutting it to size.

I know that's hard if it's your only vehicle. They'd probably love to get out from behind the counter and come look under your hood to see the hose you're trying to replace. Then they can find something.

I won't step foot in Autozone unless it's the only store in a town I'm broken down in.

I usually go to Napa or the dealership, or go through RockAuto or something online.

I just got my radiator hoses at an O'Reilleys in Dallas, OR. The hoses I bought didn't look much like what I pulled off the truck, until I realized that I needed to cut off and throw away 2/3 of the new hose. They must try hard to make one part fit many applications. Works for me.

While we're on the topic, is the brake booster vacuum hose a shaped hose? Mine looks like one.
