So the hose I used yesterday was from VatoZone. The end on it was aluminum. I went to Ho'Reilly's today, their hose has steel fittings. I installed it and put everything back together. All I have to say is this power steering swap is freaking awesome.

Once installed it worked like a champ. There is no noise and the wheel is easier than Doug's Mom. The pump bolted right in place. The only change I had to make was the pressure line. Luckily the box on my frame was an '82 Ford box. I just went and bought the hose for a '82 truck and it all fit together.

Anyone who has a 90's esk truck do this swap, it is outstanding*

*Note: I may change my mind if this thing craps out in Clayton!
