Power Steering Pump Confusion

I ordered a Cardone 20-6098 for my 75 ford F250 390.

when it came in, it was WAY different then the one that was in my truck. Looks like the one in my truck is newer.

No Problem, i'll just swap this one in place so i can at least drive, i thought. Well then i realized that all the pressure line is different.

So I went to OrEALLY's! (cause you really don't know what you're going to get) and I asked them for the right Pressure line.

They ordered part 91868, but that doesn't seem right...

Can someone please help me as to what pressure line i need for that pump?

thanks!

I should mention, the bolt pattern is all correct, and it will fit in my truck, just different size resevior and what not (maybe someone already did the PSP mod on mine)

The newer style looks like this with a plastic reservoir and a wide mouth opening with a plastic dipstick and an O-ring fitting.


The older style looks like this and is metal with a small opening and a metal dipstick.


I have the newer style pump on my 77 and I used the pressure line for a newer truck. An 84 if I remember correctly. I did have to do a little finessing with the metal end where it attaches to the steering gear.

EDIT: With that said if you bought the older style pump and it fits the brackets you have then as long as you order what ever would be the correct pressure line for your truck it should be the right one now. Because if you had a newer style pump then the PO put it on there and most likely used the newer style pressure hose too.
