Not trying to slam you but you need to get up to speed on hoses and fittings to protect yourself. Based on your description and photo it sounds/looks like you got a 59" hose with pipe thread fittings (at least the end shown) for about $100.00. Tractor Supply, and likely others (Surplus Center, Baum Hydraulics, etc.), sell a 60" x 3/8 hose, with pipe thread ends, for about $20.00. You can research hoses and adapter fittings at Surplus Center's website, they have quite a selection. Pipe and JIC are likely the most common types, followed by the O-ring boss fittings. Hopefully the next shop you go to can do better by you.
As for getting male pipe thread swivel hose ends I would not unless it was the only way to fit in a "hole". There is more chance of those fittings weeping from the swivel area over time, and they are usually more expensive. I would ask for an adapter like the photo below, which can be used with another hose in the future if needed. Male pipe thread to screw into the valve or cylinder, with a female swivel to accept the fitting on the hose end. These should seal to the hose fitting in the center, not the threads on the swivel side, and don't need dope or tape. The male pipe thread end of the adapter that threads into the valve or cylinder would get dope or tape applied. JMHO, good luck. Jim
