Power Steering. I'm at a loss.

Recently re-assembled my truck (84 C10, SBC). When I first ran the truck with the accessory drive assembled the power steering pump was making an intermittent screech/whine that was only really noticeable at low rpm.

So I bought a new pump to fit an 84' C10 with a 350, it didn't work with my current bracket, the pump itself was clocked differently in the reservoir. This is how the 84 pump was clocked:



So after some research at the local (reliable) parts house I found a pump that was clocked to match the pump out of the truck. Here's the catch, it was listed to fit a 78' C10. The pump worked perfectly with the bracket and mounted up correctly BUT the pressure line has the wrong fitting for the pump, the line on the truck has some wild flare with an o-ring and the new pump looks as if it takes just a plain old flare. The 78' pump:



From the research I've done it seems that two different style hoses were used between 73'-87', basic flared and this **** I'm stuck with. I'm having a hard time finding what I need. Help?
