Hydro boost lines
I’m finally going to install my hydro boost unit… and after a long search in the forum I didn’t see a lot of info about this in the 60-66 department.
Are there any pre-made lines that I can use from a certain vehicle that work well in the 60-66 trucks? Can I make my own hard lines and take them to a hydraulic shop to have the rubber hose crimped on? I’m trying to stay away from AN fitting stuff. What is the best option?

Re: Hydro boost lines
I had mine made at Princess Auto, out of hydraulic line. They crimp the appropriate ends on. I'm sure you have a tractor place near by that can do the same.

Re: Hydro boost lines
So I have a unigue situation in that I have a Type 2 GM power steering pump (High Pressure or standard GM Pressure) that must go to my Hyrdo boost then onto a Heidts Pressure reducing valve and then onto my Rack - so 3 high pressure lines and then 4 low pressure return lines. NOTE: if you run a rack, you need to reduce the standard GM pressure for the Rack BUT you want the higher pressure for the hydro boost, reason for the "cheap" pressure reducing valve. I have a complete hyrdaulic line kit that came with hydro boost, but I need more lines than it comes with, so... I am going to use PTFE lines and 6an ends for this back to a remote reservoir, and then a 10an line from the reservoir back to the pump. The PTFE lines are capable of withstanding the high pressure side if needed for custom routing or the no need for hydraulic press. Just another thought....
