Can someone please post a picture of the correct routing of the power steering hoses on a '72 with a V8. I've got a buddy that needs help.

BB or SB?

BB and long water pump.

Here is a couple of pictures, sorry the one under the fender didn't come out too well. Also all of the original big block trucks from 68-72 had remote resivoures for the fluid. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

And short water pumps. The long water pump wasn't used in trucks until 1973. WES

thanks for the pics. Maybe I need to find a pic of the '73 and up setup.

I would think that all things being the same (like the placement of the engine) the routing of the powersteering hoses would be the same also. The placement of the power steering pump is a couple of inches higher is all. Here is how I have them routed in my Blazer that I have a long water pump BB in. WES
