The pre 1978 P/S pressure hose just screws on to the pump, there's no O-ring on the flared end of the tube.
The 1978 and later hoses have a short straight tube (no flare) with a small O-ring on it roughly 3/4's to one inch from the end of the tube.
The following info is Rated R.
The 1978 and later P/S pressure hose's male tube with its O-ring is inserted into the pumps female fitting...then it's tightened up.

That tube had me wondering about the bend in it as well.The bend is tight,it's almost kinked.I've ordered a new p/s pump,hopefully it comes in today.I have another one of these truck's,I looked at the p/s pump on it,and like you say NumberDummy,the hose is quite different.
