So I've been looking to improve my cars handling some more and a jeep grand cherokee steering box seems like a worthwile upgrade.
I see people mention changing out fittings on the pump though...but I was thinking of killing 2 birds with 1 stone here.
I have a ls1 corvette power steering pump...so as a temp fix I grafted the corvette line to my chevelle line with a compression fitting. This is obvisouly not the best way to do this...so I was wondering if there might be a stock line that has proper fittings on both ends?
I know this may not answer your question but I did a quick search long ago when I ran my GC box to my LS1 Camaro steering pump. I could not find the proper hose adapter. I think you're better off going to a local hose specialist. They can do the custom fittings for you and get you the right lengths. I think you will be happier in the end. Any vendor who specializes in hydraulic lines should be able to help. Here in SoCal we have www.hose-man.com

I plan to take the stock LS1 lines cut the ends off and have the jeep fittings crimped on.

guess I could always just do the same compression fitting splice to a jeep line...actually my local parts store might have the stuff now to join the lines
he makes custom gates hydrolic hoses now

Won't the corvette lines bolt right-up to the GC steering box ? I thought they would.

81 camaro lines are perfect at both ls pump and gc ends.

Maybe I was just lucky but the pressure side line from an 02 camaro pump was correct and then I just used the stub of the line(cut off from salvage yard) coming out of the box with a hose clamped on for the return line. Let me know if that doesn't make sense. This is all with a GC steering box of course.
