Power steering hose question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

77c10 · 02-18-2012, 08:44 PM

I have a 77 c10 that did not come with power steering and I am in the process of adding it. It has a Gen II LT1 350 crate motor. I got an accesory brakcet and accessories from a 95 Camaro Z28. My next step is to get the proper steering gear box. Since the PS pump is now mounted on the passenger side I can't use off the shelf hoses. Have any on ya'll ever made your own hoses? If so, what did you use and how did you do it? Any help that is provided would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim

If you are in the city near a port, or any other place where there are lots of 18 wheelers any service center or truck parts store will make you hoses in minutes while you wait for not a lot of $

By the way...i added PS to my truck...I'm really glad I did, the manual steering was a good alternative to the gym, but not very fun.
