standard 3/8 chromed supply tube. readily available at any
plumbing store, not available at box stores.

Easiest for you to use: the braided line from the box store. You
can buy the chromed supply tubes, use 3/8 soft copper, or poly
lines.

The on-off-valve is an old type, probably used in 1965, chrome
color
with a welded chrome flex tube 6" up. It may not be aluminum, may
be
chromed plated copper flexible , with ribs on it all the way ,
allow
it to flex. The end of it has a compression female fitting. You
cannot find these anymore. The new on-off-valve just have a
compression fitting for you to install a steel braised flex hose
on
it. I cannot tell whether the female fitting is 5/8 or 1/2, too
small a close call. How can I tell?

I now had already gotten a new faucet with 1/2 plastic tube

down about 3". I can get metal braised steel flex connection
hose 1/2
FIT on faucet end. What do I need on bottom end , and what
fitting
male to male do I need in addition?

Since your old faucet used metal tube, it probably had
compression fittings
on each end and those were squished when tightening the nuts so
that you got
a water tight seal.

I really can't tell from your description what you have so my
best advise is
to call a plumber. Either that or haul the whole works off to a
plumbing
store and let them sell you what you need.
