Could I cut both lines from where it’s leaking, and attach a hose with clamps vs. replacing all new lines? I bought this truck for $2,000 with 128,000 miles. Perfect condition minus the leak seen here. Nothing registered on the trans dip stick so it’s been leaking for a while.

If I can attach a hose, what size do I need? Thanks

Absolutely you can trans cooler lines are.not high pressure, just get some rubber fuel line. I don't know the size off hand, invest $10 in some harbor freight calipers and measure it, or just get a couple feet of each of some 5/16 and 3/8” (10mm) ID hose I'm fairly sure it's one of those leaning towards the 3/8”. Or cut out a piece first and take it with you to the parts store.
Use a tubing /pipe cutter with the little wheel to cut out the rotten area so you don't get shavings in the line.
put a hose clamp on both ends and hey presto.

1/2" line, need about 5-6 ft to replace both

3/8” was the correct size. This will do for now.
