Anyone know the return line fitting size on a bendix PS box, ither it is a 5/8 or 9/16 have nothing that can measure that small of a difference. I just got the box and am trying to scrounge up the lines.

 

which Bendix box is it...the HUGE original 65-6 type box...or the downsized 67-up box ??? I dunno if theres a difference in lines between the 2...but just in case...also, post the tag info from the box...its attached to the box with one of the covers bolts.

There's no such thing as a downsized Bendix P/S gearbox.

C6TZ3548L .. Bendix P/S Gearbox Housing.

C6TZ3E500A .. Bendix P/S Gearbox Master Seal & Gasket Kit

Fits: 1966/68 F100/250 2WD / 1969 F100/250 2WD before serial number G96,001.

No more Bendix P/S after this 1969 serial number cutoff.

1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog / Text / Section 35.1 / Pages 23 & 24 / Bendix P/S Gearbox Parts List # 45.

Ford calls the P/S hose fittings "Seats" but doesn't say which one is for the pressure and return hoses.

The following are the "Seat" sizes, not the wrench sizes:

372896S .. 3/8" Seat

373430S .. 5/16" Seat

Sorry, when the thread was posted a day or so ago thought I would try and assist by using my recently purchased Master Catalog CD. Now believe memorizing the 'Encylopedia Britannica' would be easier, probably would have lasted a 'nano second' as a FOMOCO employee Parts Locater. Anyhow; Bill, don't know how yu do it, but thanks for citing the Section and Page, it was a very helpful learning exercise. Practice!Practice!Practice!

 

Practice...Practice...Practice.

Sorry Bill, responded to your email, but in reference to #3, it was after I sent the response that it dawned on me there was a #5 which cleared up much of my confusion, kinda like experiencing an epiphany. O'well, what can I say, lights on but nobodys home. Thank you for clearing it up.
