Power Steering Pressure Hose

I have a 67 with a SBC. The Power Steering hose started leaking on the metal tubing that connects to the steering box. The hose that is currently on it looks like the previous owner took a bunch of JIC fittings and a piece of Hydraulic hose and made it work. Does anyone have a part number of a hose that works?

I have read in a few posts that i need a hose for a 68, but there are a few different hoses available for the 68. Thanks

Hopefully the pictures are clear enough...

Re: Power Steering Pressure Hose

I do not believe there is an over the counter hose available that will fit without modifying either the hose or the fender well. I ended up rebending the hose where it goes into the box. (Not as simple as it sounds if you don't want any kinks.)
Of course, after I did that, I read that there is a board member who makes a pressure side hose. Do a search and you should be able to locate them.

The hose that you need would be listed as a 68 and up, as 67's came with a completely different style of power steering from the factory.

Re: Power Steering Pressure Hose

Thanks for the response. I saw a few posts when I did my initial search and I think the member that was selling them was "Pickmup". I sent him a PM, but have not heard back yet. Thanks

Re: Power Steering Pressure Hose

That looks like a manufactured hose. Any hose shop should be able to replace the leaking piece

Re: Power Steering Pressure Hose

You have to determine what pump you have , The picture you posted shows the low pressure return line on the back of the pump you have now faces down , The lines sold by pickmup are different and being custom made of stainless they are expensive compared to standard lines , The best bet is to remove the leaking pressure line and try to match it up at the parts store , being that it's a 67 someone in the past probably converted it to power steering and used what parts they had , These pics should show what I'm trying to explain .
