Sorry to revive this old thread but it helped me and might can help someone else. Clinebarger you saved the day with your advise. I did unscrew the old adapter from 67 and put it newer 03 5.3 power steering pump. It screwed right in easy, peasy. Thanks for your wisdom again.

Can you use a fitting to attach the hose from stock gear box to the hose on the 05 pump

Reviving this again...so I took everyone's advice and swapped my LS pressure fitting out for the old SBC one...only to find that my steering gear is from a later model and uses o-ring style fittings going into the gear rather than flared. Can I go ahead and swap the LS fitting back in and use hoses from a newer truck? What would be the best way to handle this?

I always run the newer boxes because they are less turns lock to lock. You can get lines from an '81-87 that will be o ring type that will fit both the box and the LS pump.

You say LS pump, meaning LS fitting?

Got my lines switched over the weekend. Honestly, the one's from the 81-81 trucks fit better than the 67-72. I also put the LS pressure fitting back in. All is good!
