p/s hoses

[35chevcoupe]

Anyone have a source for power steering hoses ? non a/c if it makes any difference . or does someone reproduce them ?
thanks .

No correct repro are available to my knowledge!? The original lines have steel lines with a slight bend in them that go to the steering box! Many replacement styles do not! Original pressure lines have shaped fittings and ribbed hoses! The low pressure hose has a special hose clamp that can be reused! I bought
several sets of a.c. Delco replacement ones from Rock Auto ,but not sure if they still have them! Although not a 100 percent correct they fit and function nice! I have a pair in the post car! Here's a picture! Disregard the placement as I have the inter fenders off right now and the routing isn't correct! Let me see if I can find part #! If I can find  the pictures of nos ones I will post them for comparison!

Gate's # are 355340 pressure and 35250 return and A.C. # 36355340 pressure and 3635250 return ! Looks like Rock Auto still have these! Not sure if the return line has the angle on the metal line though!?

Here are some pics of NOS production style hoses, the return hose has a date code of 3/65! First time out of the bags! There is some flash rust and tarnish! They are over 50 years old after all! Also Correct NOS steering pump cap and rag joint!

realize this post is from earlier this year but anyway . Dwaine my p/s preasure hoses finally came from rock auto and even though I haven't installed them I think they look like they should fit pretty good . They had 3 different brands so i picked the Gates hoses ( part # 355340 ) 12.27 each

Hey John,

I used the Gates hoses on my car and they fit and look fine.  Good choice!
