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

Hello again guys!
First off I'll tell y'all what I already have and know, and then I'll ask my question so there is no confusion. This is for a 1966 SWB with a 70's 350.

What I already have:
Captainfabs bracket and coupler (AWESOME quality!)
Power steering gear box from a 1975 C10
Power steering pump from 1975 C10
Brackets to install pump on block from POL

What I need to know is what hoses to buy (pressure and return hoses). I have read that some hoses don't fit well and the inner fender needs to be cut, I am tryng to avoid this issue. So to you guys that have already done this, what did you get?

Thanks in advance!

I would use hoses for a 1975 C10. They should lay flat on top of framerail, just like on the '75. If anything, very minor(maybe a 1/4") will need to be trimmed off the lip of fenderwell directly above hoses.

On my 1960 I went with one off of a 72 a/c delco # 36-355240 for the pressure hose and a # 36-350020 return line .
