I am looking for a reference photo that shows the 5 power steering hoses in the photo installed. I could not make it out in the assembly manual

I think you have a typo because the picture shows powersteering hoses.

Blue Dot hoses on a '68 428CJ that I am restoring.

I find that if you get the pressure line on first, then the return line running over the top, they sit a lot nicer..

That is perfect thanks. Great work. I may need to ask a few more questions if you don't mind

Great thanks Royce. What type of hose clamp is that. My car was missing the clamp. I may have a few more questions if that is alright

[67GT500]

It?s the original one. I think you can get one from DNO.

This is meant to be helpful but FYI since you are going to the trouble of trying for a historical look using OEM looking PS hoses, assemblyline finish's etc. I thought you should be aware that the tie rod adjusting sleeves are obvious replacements given the distinct non assemblyline contour down their length.

A screw clamp was used in 68 for the power control valve. #16 marked  Suretite.
