Power Steering box question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**60-66** · 02-17-2014, 09:16 PM

Working on another chassis and ran into a small problem I cant get answered around here. I just happened to have a new GM Power steering box for trucks that uses the O-ring style fittings. I want to use a stock 1969 Chevy truck power steering hose as it works well for what Im doing. Do they make an adapter to use the compression style fitting hose on an O-ring steering box ? Im told rebuilders now supply these adapters to work on earlier mid seventies trucks. Anyone ever run into this situation ?

Look locally for a company that will make brake lines and hydraulic hoses and they maybe able to assemble something from scratch with the custom fittings you need.

Thanks, is the female end that threads into the fitting 3/8 or 1/2 ? The OD of my fitting is .680 on the hose end I need to use which is 1/2 inch pipe thread

o-ring boxes are metric as far as i know. these are two fittings that converts 16mm and 18mm steering box to 11/16-18 and 5/8-18 inverted flair. used them on my 4x4 p/s setup. was going to use these on something else, but went another direction.

OK, I called CPP and the part number I need is 605SOL, if that's what you have Im interested. Judging by what you wrote and the specs he gave me, you have what I need. PM comming
