Good point made by Dashman about brand new boxes made for older trucks possibly having metric fittings. But all I've ever seen is rebuilt OEM boxes.
I knew that but like I said to Dashman I bought this box years ago from Rockauto and am pretty sure I bought is for a 1967, before I knew much about these trucks. Anyway, I have new hoses and pump for a 1980-1987 on the way.
No picture of the yellow thing I took out but all the newer hose I looked at have that and the o-rings included. One article I saw says the fitting will create threads in the yellow seal.
