Power steering problemo

I was hoping someone could help me out. It's my first time replacing power steering parts and I've hit a bump in the road. I recently resealed my pump and didn't really change anything on that. I ordered a reman gear that has in and outs that I am having trouble finding the right size hoses for with the right bends and right size fittings. Anyone else have this problem?? A point in the right direction would be much obliged.

on the gearbox:
The pressure port is 1/2" 20
The return port is 5/8" 18

I've been trying to go off of the right shapes but I can't find any that fit these ports. I got all the parts at rockauto and i figured it would be easier to return the hoses. Guess I didn't realize there was so many variations before i ordered these.
