Your '86 steering box will have Metric with an o-ring style fittings. So it will be best if you purchase a 1980 and newer power steering pump. Most likely one for a 454, but that also depends on what water pump you are running. A long pump or the correct short pump. As for the lines that is a tossup. The lines for a '80+ truck with a 454 may or may not work. The only one that is a worry is the pressure hose. Personally I would just have a hydraulic shop make a hose for you with the correct ends. The return line does not have crimped on ends, so that is easy.

The power steering box is from an 86 C20 that I’m using on my 66 C20 which has a 76 454 BB in it. I still need to get the power steering pump assembly, lines, and reservoir to complete the project but not sure what year I should be searching for for these items. Any advice there?
