Yes, buy a gear box from 85' -87' to be safe. These have metric o-ring fittings (supply and return). Make sure to get the supply (pressure side) line with the gear box. Also depending on what year power steering pump you have, you will need the o-ring type insert (fitting that screws into the back of the power steering pump) then the fitting on the hose will thread into that. Then your pressure side should be good to go with o-rings on both ends. For the return side. Go to carquest and get part number from the picture above (16mm o-ring fitting to hose end with 90 degree bend) and a new piece of hose and clamps (hose about 15" long). I reused the rag joint on the 84' and up box, it was in good shape. Have fun.
