what year truck?


on my 71 c-10 i swaped the 1 inch fitting in the back of the new pump from a pump of the same year as the my truck and used the stock hose, the fitting cost my 72 cents at the local junk yard and since i can use the stock hose i can get one at any store if it ever goes out

I had replaced my original pump with an Oreillys pump before the swap. The replacement pump had the correct fitting on the pump I just transferred the fitting and lines to the lsx pump. Fit like a glove. Maybe you can check to see if your pump had been replaced and has the fitting already. Keep us posted
Good luck.

Thanks Never had a pump apart. Pushing 300k on a project engine I got from a buddy. Does the high pressure fitting unscrew to remove tank? If so I suppose I could just swap fittings from my pump to new one.

Going to swap in a Chevolet performance 'connect and cruise' package.

I an going to get the Vintage Air Gen IV system and their LS FrontRunner™ Drive System. This put compressor high and avoid frame mods.

Yup the high pressure fittings will swap

The fitting on the backside of pump will unscrew and screw right back inside the new pump. At least thats how I and Hawks did it. It's spring loaded so be carefull when taking it a part. I thought I had lost part of it and looked all over the floor for parts. Finally realized it didn't. ;):chevy:

I run an 84 Burb box on my old ride (metric/o ring fittings)....the stock 2000 GMC hose fit the mess, on my old 69 with just a 'tweek" on the return line on the pump ;) You really have to love some of the mix/match on parts over the yrs! Longhorn

You'll need to do some research, but I don't think the VA frontrunner system comes with a truck style power steering pump, I believe they use an F body type pump, in which case you can't swap out that fitting.
