Powersteering pressure line

Hello all,

Did a search found nothing. I have a 1973 F250 2wd, long bed single cab with 360.

It has developed a hole in the power steering line that runs out of the pump then to the steering box. I am having trouble finding this line. The effected line is not the cooling line with the insane number of bends in it. I can find that line easily.

Can anyone help me with a place I could purchase the line I need?

Thanks!

Mark

This one?
=ENGINE|5.9L]Gates® - Ford F-250 Power Steering 1973 Power Steering Pressure Line Hose Assembly (carid.com)

If you can't source OEM-ish, when I was putting a hydroboost in my truck I made my own braided PS hoses and they worked well, didn't take any special tools.

The one they say is right looks nothing like the one in my truck. I may have to make my own.

Take what you have to a hose shop. They aren’t usually all that expensive and have all the tooling needed for high quality customer lines. Plus no headache associated with sourcing all the bits and pieces you might need.

Is it just a natural hole from old age, or was it rubbing up against something?
If it was rubbing it might not be the original correct hose in the first place.
