Re: power steering line
I was able to use the stock lines with the stock pump, but my truck is an 81. I think 72 and older you can swap out a fitting on the back of the power steering pump and use your stock lines also.

Re: power steering line
For those of you that used the stock lines, did you use big block or small block power steering lines. I tried to reuse my big Block power steering line, but no amount of adjusting will get it off the exhaust manifold Heat shield.

Re: power steering line
Mine had a big block in it. I had to carefully straighten the line tha run it under the frame in front of the cross member. Kind of a pita but it should work

Re: power steering line
Small block PS hoses work better.

Re: power steering line
Wait wait!! I can answer that question!! Just unscrew the fitting off of the power steering boxes and swap them. That's what I did. Then you can use the stock power steering hose for the '79.

Re: power steering line
If you go to Napa and get fitting 1446 and screw that into the back of the pump you can use the stock line. I paid $10 for the fitting.
