Correct power steering lines?

Hey everyone. Im moving along with getting my longbed, manual trans, straight 6 truck converted to a shortbed, automatic, vortec 350 truck.

So, I have the 1999 vortec 350 and turbo 350 trans in the truck. I just ordered captainfabs power steering adapter plate. The c10 is a 1964 and it has a complete 1977 c10 front crossmember/suspension/steering in it. My questions is, does anyone have an idea of what power steering lines will work on my 1999 power steering pump and 1977 steering box?

Also, I have searched but not much luck. Anyone have info about electrical connections on the 1999 alternator to the 64?

I believe you will have to have them made up as the '77 would be standard and the '99 would be metric.
My local NAPA store makes the lines. I just told them what I needed and they formed them up.

Re: Correct power steering lines?

If you have an old style power steering box, you can unbolt the piece where the High pressure line connects to the box and swap the old flare style connection in place of the newer o-ring metric style connector on the 99 box. That way you can use a standard 70-72 hose between the pump & steering box..

I think you can get adapters also, or like was mentioned use a custom highpressure line.
