i have a 69 charger with an original power steering gear box , i put in a mid 80's 318 with power steering ( gm sagnaw) style  pump  , is there any place where  i can get the hoses for high and low pressure made up.
thanks

You might try a farm implement store.   Some of them fabricate hoses.

why not use the tight box from the mid 80's car also. then the hoses and pump will all match. plus the newer box might even be a firm fell unit. most of the wagons had those. but remember to get the correct pitman arm too.

The low pressure hose shouldn't be any problem since it's just a return line.  You can buy the return line in 4 foot lenghts from autoparts stores and cut to length.  I think that hose just uses spring clamps on each end.  The high pressure hose would be the problem.  I wonder if the standard hose for a 69 would work.  It used a early model saginaw pump compared to a late model pump used on early 70 something models and up (the egg shaped pump).  The reservoir is different but the pump is the same.  It does use a press on pulley compared to a bolt on for the earlier pump.  I would look into the 69 hose first.  Don't see why you couldn't take it back if it didn't fit as long as it didn't have any hydraulic fluid run through it.

The return line can be bought at the auto parts store. And it is just a spring clamp.

Ive never tried to find the high pressure one. But If I where looking I would start

at and air conditioning shop.
