I was able to get all my coolant/heater hoses at O’Reilly Auto. I think rockauto.com has them too. My truck is a 2.6, maybe not exact match to yours but they look pretty similar. Good luck~

My eBay Fu is strong enough I was able to score reasonably priced heater hoses for my '87 2.6, first by looking up the part nos. at O'Reilly, AutoZone, and RockAuto, then putting those into an eBay search with the "Include description" box ticked, then checked the description of matching results for more part numbers to add to my eBay search. Note you can use parentheses and commas for an "or" search on eBay -- e.g., hose (this,that,"the other") would find anything with "hose" plus any one of the three words/phrases in the parentheses.

If all else fails, you can use straight hose but of a longer length to make the bends more gradual, so they don't kink the hose.

...and remember to expand your search to cover other trucks under the same type but different names like Triton/L200 etc.

and 1st gen STRADA trucks & 1st gen DELICA vans

The vans have a different HVAC set up due to the engine being more mid ship to the driving position so the hoses won't be compatible. Radiator is the same size too but won't mount into a truck as the brackets are missing.
