Power steering lines...help
 

Running a stock 69 steering box, 5.3 engine and pump. I have fitting adapter for pump...anyone have a link for what hoses guys are using?

Re: Power steering lines...help
 

Just use the factory 69 hoses.

Fitting on hose is angled opposite direction...just wanted to get new lines...at least the pressure one.

What hose? If you take the fitting out of the pump and replace it with your original one, then the lines will bolt up like stock. The pump should be in just about the same location it was originally.

Take both of your hoses to a hydraulic shop. They can cut off both ends and braze them to swivel crimp fittings. Most will require you to use a new hose. It seems there may be two different style of pumps? I've heard multiple people say to unscrew the fitting on the pressure side. Mine was not removable. It was out of a 2001. My routing did change to under and out the front of the pump. I ended up with the stock ls hard line coming out the front of the pump to a swivel crimp, new hose to the original steering box side the pics help.

Exactly what I'm dealing with. Do any parts stores make these lines...Napa?...

Re: Power steering lines...help
 

I said removable but I meant more like swap-able. The thread was the same I believe but the compression side of the fitting was not the same. For me anyway. Napa may be a good place to start? I live in logging country so I had the local rigging supplie make one. 10 mins and 20 bucks.
