It seems that everyone cuts them up - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

GOPAPA · 10-13-2008, 07:48 PM

I have a 402ci in my 72 and need the powersteering hoses to hook up to my big block pump from the box.

But, every plave I inquire about the hoses ,,they say they cut them up rather than take them off when parting out the truck.

You cannot find them in wrecking yards so was wondering are there other hoses from other vehicle that has the same bends as the big block trucks that I can substitute ?.. papa from close to Portland Oregon

The high pressure hose was still available from the chain parts stores last time I checked @ Oreilly's or Advance.

I used a hose from a 73 with a 454 and it worked great. I ordered it from Advanced here in Florida. See if that is what you are looking for.

I have been unsuccessful trying to find a hi pressure hose from a parts house. Your best bet would be to take an old one to a hose shop and have them make a duplicate. Advance showed me 2 hoses they had listed for the big block trucks, and both of them weere incorrect.

If I remember correctly, Wes had a bunch made up a while ago and had them for sale

I dont have a big block but I just went thru this issue with the hoses so I had some made locally for $45.00 for both perfect fit and problem solved....I got tired of buying the so called correct ones and then not fitting..

I got this information from the NAPA prolink web site.
Pressure hose Part#NPS 71531
Return hose Part#NPS 71201
Hope this helps

The stuff they sell in the parts store is get by stuff, they are not correct for the application. The correct hose is difficult to locate. When I built my 71, I was able to locate one in Texas through parts voice (GM program) . Pickumup is the only one that I have seen with the correct repop of the hose, but he was only going to have a limited supply. If he does not have any more try contacting Uncle in Georgia, he has several bb trucks and may have a hose for sale.
