power steering problem PLEASE HELP!

[knightowl73]

Well i decided to finally fix the leaky power steering pump yesterday but it didnt go that well. i found out that i have a 73 power steering pump, so the nice one my bud gave me wouldnt work. i found one that would, rented the tool, put it all together, and went to return the tool.
well on the trip there it was kinda workin at first, then was fine by the time i got to oriellys. just after returning the tool and pulling out of the parkin lot my power steering just went out at once. damn near twisted my wrist tryna catch it.
so this mornin i went and bought a new power steering pump and put it on and still nothin. i blew out both lines after r taking them off and still nothin. the original pump worked fine just leaked, so now im outta 50 bucks and instead of a leak i just dont have any power steering at all. and i swear it is harder to turn than any manual steering old truck ive ever driven, its almost as if its fighting me when i try to turn. even considered maybe puttin the hoses on wrong. but its not even possible. has anyone ever had this problem before? the only thing left is that the steering box is bad, but would it just go out all of a sudden like that? i figured its supposed to get worse over time thing.
