power steering line with flare end. whats it called?

[86Cucvbeater]

I have an 1986 truck and im installing a steering box from a 1973 that accepts flare fittings. Does anyone know the size of the fitting that would be on the end of the high pressure hose going into the box? I need the name/size of this piece so I can get it put on the end of my high pressure line. It's inverted flare I think but is it 45 deg. or 37 deg? Does anyone have a picture?

It's inverted flare..

It isn't 37 or 45, those are FLARE measurements.. AN so to speak... Inverted flare just goes by tube size...

As far as size, I'd be guessing...

I'm currently doing the exact same thing on my '86. Conversion fittings seem to be hard to locate. I ended up getting new lines for a '77 and a junk yard PS pump to rob the fitting out of the back (I'll be pulling it for mods anyway). Not to mention I needed a reservoir to hack up too for added fluid capacity. Hope this helps.

thanks, 11/16-18 inverted flare is what i need then. im doind hydro assist also and this is the last thing holding me up. i have hydroboost so no fitting on the back of my ps pump. this line im getting modified goes to the hydroboost. i also added a tranny cooler to add fluid capacity. good luck with yours!
