The stock one was swaged which indicates too much pressure for hose clamps? If not feasible to make, where to buy? 1960 GMC/Chevy, pass side slave.V6.

I'd suggest taking the master and slave cylinders to one of those places and see if they can custom-make a line for you. The only place a flex line would be needed would be a short one from the firewall to the bellhousing to absorb flex from the motor mounts. A hard line will fatigue and break in short order.
It's possible a flex hose from a front brake could be adapted to that application if the fitting at the slave cylinder could be matched up. The frame lines will usually have 3/16" tubing inverted flare fittings and pre-made 3/16" steel lines are available in all sorts of lengths.

The Napa's here only do big machinery hoses they guy said. I would rather build my own as per Jerry, if I can.
