    I have a 74 CJ5. I am adding power steering. Can someone tell me which pressure hose to buy. The one that I have is too short.

    Power steering was optional on a 74 you could try to track down one of these. Otherwise a hydraulic shop could make you one.

    went to hydraulic shop today. Due to the difference in the size of the fittings they could not do it. I found a race shop and bought parts to extend the hose. I have to have the fittings welded to each of the hose ends. Then the hose and fittings are generic. I bought 2 hose setups so I would have a spare. I have tried to install parts that I could easily get at the any parts store on a weekend. This hose just changed that.

    also I already had the pump, brackets, and steering box. I came up about 2 and a half inches on the hose.
