If you have the Chevy end and the imp end and if there both rubber hose of hydraulic hose just take each end you need and have a connector put in.

I sand/clean both ends being joined. Then take a punch, awe, screwdriver, etc to the larger diameter of the two to slightly flare/enlarge the opening . Then i try to force the smaller one into the larger one and make a series of tack welds until its welded all the way around. Then I typically go back over it with a bridge weld to insure there is no leaks. Never had one fail yet. I trust it way more than a brass compression fitting. And I always do all this on the work bench. JMO

Would a high pressure hose off of any other mopars fit the imperial for threading into the steering box or do i have to get one specifically for it?

I just picked up a 68 Imperial, noticed the rear right side brake drum is broken, any idea where I could find a replacement? every parts store I have talked to say they have no listing for them.

I just picked up 2 clean 68 imps and the closest place to me that allows imps has these rules: 1) May weld all seams of car. 2) Aftermarket products allowed. 3) No gussets of the frame.
Ive never built imps or even built mopar so any help on this would be appreciated

read the thread but change motor mounts to spool type, weld sub to k, put some extra sub mount bolts and tranny x member to floor also, weld a mean bumper to the beam, extra leafs, reinforce the rear leaf mounts, chain the humps, I like to wedge the trunk and run them low in the back on mopars.
