Correct power steering hoses 1973 350 C or K?

I have a truck with no PS hoses whatsoever. It does have all the correct original power steering pump and brackets. Could one of you provide pictures of an original: 1, The hoses from the steering box over the frame and 2, approximate hose configuration at the pump?

Looking at pictures of units available in the aftermarket these are all over the boards in pictures of an original configuration would be a big help towards attaining the right pieces. If any of you have experience with a vendor with the correct units that would be helpful as well.

Hello there it would be easier if you showed your Motor and bracket front, and pic from steering gear hose to the bracket. Then most can help you get the right set for your parts. Oh any 1980 up hose fitting or pump / gear will have MM o-rings. 73-79 SAE.

I stopped messing with any OE hoses and starting making my own using steel AN fittings and braided line. There is every adapter needed to get from the metric oring stuff to AN.

It may seem overwhelming for the fit one but I promise is it easy. If you wheel way out in the middle of nowhere a few fitting and a length of hose in your tool kit fixes just about anything on the spot.
