Power steering problems after swap

alright so my 78 f250 has an '84 460 engine in it. me and a friend custom made a power steering bracket and everything else. only problem left is we cant find a power steering line to go from the pump to the steering box. im running a pump from the mid 80s as well, so the fittings on the lines ive found dont match up on both ends. anyone know where i might be able to find something like this, or has anyone done this particular swap?

Should be a local hose shop to fab you up one. Some Napa's do it and if they don't ask them who does.

Just bring in the old gear box end and the new pumps end and tell them the total length you need.

well i kinda already did, and i finally got the right size belt on the pump and what not, and the line broke apart (to much pressure i guess), so i wasnt sure if there was a line made for this situation, ill probably just have to bring it back and tell them it needs to be stronger
