Default different lower radiator hoses

A friend of mine came into my store looking for a lower hose for his 65 small block.
When I looked it up I noticed that his hose number was different from a 67.
I ordered both in and the 67 and up hose was about 3" longer where it attaches to the radiator.
I am curious what is different between the years. The radiator, water pump and chassis is the same.
Any body have an answer.
Joe

Aren't the rad supports different on 66/67 from 64/65? Maybe the radiator placement is different?

The fan shrouds are different as well, steel vs. fiberglass.
