Ive been scouring everywhere to find a replacement Power Steering hose for my 68 Doge Dart 318,
Ive tried - Year one, Mancini, Classic, Laysons, Rock Auto, ebay,
I even went to a franchise hose maker who would not make it because it travels on a public road
they only make it for Machinery.

Where ever I look up the year the fittings are not bent the same as mine
Part number is 253794 95165 002 8

Any one else been able to source one of these lines ?
Thanks for you suggestions

I take mine to an industrial hydraulic hose maker.
They make/repair hoses fo bulldozers, tractors etc.
Eastman? iirc
Take it in one piece so they can get all the bends and angles correct.
 
As I mentioned I tried that and they refused as it a liability for them to make car parts that will run on a public roads
 
I have never had trouble, but I've dealt with them under another name for decades.
Green line in Victoria, Vancouver.
Tell them it's for a homemade log splitter on your tractor.
They'll write down "tractor",

Yep, just take it back to them and tell them it's for a 1972 Allis-Chalmers.
 
I'm at work, once the White hats leave I'll take a look at our 67 cuda which has same pump as yours.
I still have orig one hanging on pegboard at home as well.

I found another hose company further out of town, "Gregg's " I will go by there to see what they say.
 
Factory did not use compression fittings on the power steering High pressure Hose. Inverted flare by An, or SAE cone type was typical. Pump side should be inverted flare and gear box side is Cone either 37 degree an, or 45-degree Sae flare fitting.

It looks like this version uses o rings on the fittings where mine are compression fittings I'm not sure if that will be a problem ?
