LS Truck power steering to 3rd gen..which line for pressure side?

Finishing up an LQ9 swap into my 87' IROC and I'm tryin to find a OEM power steering line (pressure side)that'll fit the LQ9's power steering pump and still thread into the IROC steering box..I read somewhere that the stock thirdgen line will work..can anybody confirm this?,if not..anybody got a part number for one that will work? TIA

Depends what pump you're using. If it's the old Saginaw pump like 3rd gens use, then the 3rd gen line will do. Some trucks had hydro boost systems, just cap the top return line. The newer trucks use the newer pumps like cars. You'll have to figure out a line for that

If using the 4th gen pump, use the 4th gen line
