Kudos , Matt !
.
You're *just* the right kind of Grandson he would have wanted .
You're right : it'll
always be Grandpa's Truck and best of all , he'll be riding shotgun every where you go in it .
FWIW , those stiff and probably leaky old power steering hoses are available brandy new ~ I bought some for my '69 C/10 last year , they fit and work .
Look for the inverted ' W ' clamp that's supposed to hold them to the frame right where they slip inner the inner fender , most junked rigs still have them when they're crushed for scrap .
NAPA sells nifty poser steering filters you can add to the return line , they even have a magnet so you can easily flush the system wile you drive....
It's supposed to use ATF in there , I'd change it every time it turns brown and/or stops smelling sweet .
The correct original P.S. cap for your truck should be a cheapo crappy metal one , they still show up in junk yards / swam meets , you can clean it up well and add a better gasket .
