I'm about to put power steering in my '70 C-10 & I have one good question for ya. Which port on the gearbox is for the high pressure line & which is the return line?

Thanks,

John O>.

If you took a pic of it I could point it out, but its on top of the gearbox facing up towards the hood.

The threads are different, just use the correct fitting in the correct thread. Be care though because I am not sure what year but metric boxs and pumps use an o ring to seal plus the threads are metric

I unfortunately don't have the original hoses. I have the pump end of a few hoses. It kinda looks like the 2 different gearbox end connections are 3/8" flare & 3/8" NPT. The pump & gearbox are both from a 72 blazer, so they should definately be standard (non-metric) sizes.

Anyone happen to know if I'm on track w/ the sizes?
