Quick power steering question!

So my engine is in! SIGH. And it seems to be purring like a kitten. I know I didn't post pictures but I have been nonstop with everything from dawn till dusk for weeks and I just didn't have time. But here's one of of the engine below.
Anyways, so it went in like a charm. But the power steering pressure hose or whatever it's actually called blew like old faithful all over the place. Does anyone know if there's anywhere online to get one? I will scour, but I wanted to ask you guys first. It's the line that runs the fluid and has a little section of rubber hose where it has a bit of pressure "give" I think, that's where it blew out. But there's also metal line to it as well. For a 73 F250 runnning a 390. We can't seem to track one down out of the gate, and I want to see if I can just buy one somewhere before I attempt to have someone build one. I'm not going to be able to drive this rig around town without power steering, she's too much. But I drove her! Some little things to address(stuck in 4wd, brakes) but then I'll get some images up, just glad she's finally coming together before winter.
Winter Is Coming.
Oh, and I have a sweet wire loom on there now, before you give me hell for that.

I'm not sure. I think this might be it. But someone on my end had already called NAPA about it and they said they didn't have anything, but after you linked that I found this one, which could be it. Thanks. I guess I'll see!

Okay so the one I linked up, is definitely NOT the one, I'm going to have to pull the whole thing out and measure it to get to the bottom of this.

If you don't have any tight bends, I've taken the old one down to NAPA, had them match the ends and press them on to a length of hydraulic hose.

4 lines = power assist
2 lines = integral p/s

Either way Napa should be able to hook you up.
