Just picked up a Scout IH Power steering box... We need to adapt the hydro fittings onto a 98 ford lines, can anyone tell me what thread patern and or size the fittings are??? so that we can ether adapt them or cut splice and hose clamp the hoses together?

THANX!

Well once you hose clamp the pressure line together PLEASE take pics when you start that vehicle up and turn the wheels. Will be a great show of high pressure fluid spraying everywhere.

Take the HP line from the Ford pump and HP line for the Scout box to a Hydraulic Fitting place. They can blend the two together..IT'S NOT CHEAP! Or buy conversion fittings...which are not cheap!..either way, it's expensive.;)

Go to Napa. Do like scout dude said and take your lines from both boxes with you. They can make a new line in minutes.

recomend any places in particular?

You need to know what year the box came from too. In 1980, they switch to a metric fitting on some of the boxes.

1978 got it from subway truck parts

Take the ferd hose and the SCOUT box down to a hyd shop. In town here,Marysville, we have Hust Brothers. It's an automotive store, but they have a real machine shop, driveline shop and welding supply shop, all on the same property. They made a hose for me in about 5 minutes on a saturday morning, $20.
