Probably the easiest thing to do is to swap out the fitting in the back of the pump with the one from the '71 pump, then use the original hose, or a new one, but for a '71 truck. The only problem with that is you have to have the type1 pump to do that, as the type2 pump you have the fittings won't interchange.
