How to buy radiator hoses

Hi guys
I had a lower radiator hose get a hole in it. I think it was old as I got it with the car when I bought it. It has the chrome covering on it. It's a 350 Chevy and I believe it's a speedway or tp kit car. What's the best route of obtaining a replacement hose. Match it up in a part's store or is it available on line somewhere. Speedway didn't seem to list one.
Thanks for any and all help.
 
Had the same thing happen to my upper hose. It had the chrome cover like yours. I just replaced it with a rubber flex hose and keep on truckin'. Not as pretty but gets the job done.

I’m not a big fan of the flex hose. If you bend up a piece of welding rod in the shape of the hose, measure your hose end diameters where it attaches to water pump and radiator, bring that to the counter of a parts store on a NON busy day, usually someone will be kind enough to match it for you. Then I take that hose tag and stick it in my build log for reference.
 
I'm running a Gates 21956 lower hose. It was plenty long on both ends and had to trim it to get it to fit right but the bend is perfect.
