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

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
