Any difference if I replace a vacuum hose for a brake booster on a 1988 Toyota pickup with a hose for col lent or some other use...Fuel etc.

The petroleum in the engine will soften the coolant hose. Use emissions or fuel hose
I'm surprised that the old hose went bad.
Most hoses with the correct inner diameter should work. Perhaps a piece of bulk fuel hose is your best bet because brake-booster hoses are usually sturdy and of similar diameter. Coolant hoses may be too thin and collapse under vacuum as others said.

From my experience, vacuum hose is more flexible and stretchier than fuel hose.
Apparently fuel hoses can collapse, too:
