79 F100 power steering return line

Had a leak in my power steering pressure line and when swapping it out decided to replace that line and the return line. It seems that all the parts stores (local ones at least) show a return line with the metal tube portion bent much differently than the one currently installed. I tried to fit the new one, but it didn't fit due to clearance issues at the metal tube and the last bend would cause the rubber hose portion to bend back up at a very sharp angle. This is a pic of the current return line:



This a link showing the replacement line:

Any suggestions on where I may find a replacement that fits? And if a parts diagram is available that would be helpful too. Thanks!

Get a piece of 3/8" hose used for oil coolers and reuse the metal portion of your line.
