What power steering hose, 1978 GMC, 91 Suburban 350

What power steering hose should I use?
Truck is 1978 GMC 2wd 1/2 ton.
motor is out of 91 Suburban 4wd 350 1/2 ton.
I have the original 78 pump and lines. The 78 pump could not go on the 91 serpentine setup.
Are there adapters out there? Or a vehicle that would have the right hoses?

ok on the back of the pump, where the hose screws into, has a larger nut. you can unscrew that out, and swap them between pumps, and keep your old line and setup. there is a spring behind it, as well as a little floating valve assembly. not a big deal though if you're careful.
I've even swapped these between chevy and dodge p/s pumps, when I put the cummins in my truck.
