I have an extra low pressure line from my '62 if you can make that work somehow it's yours.

Thank you guy's!!
G Double, that was the line that needed replacing. I think I had the same problem you did with it being split down the side.
I called Wheeler and they still make it but between the $25.00 price tag and the three day wait I opted for a section of line from NAPA and four hose clamps.
I'm not sure that my picture was very clear but it is the low pressure line coming off of the power steering box. The line turns from hard line at the box to soft line as it turns down toward the frame and then hard again at the frame and on through the "paper clip"...
I had to cut it off of the "paper clip" end to get it off, and getting the new line on was challenging because there is only room for on arm at a time in that area but one is needed to hold the hard line (so as not to break it) and another to push the rubber on. Anywho after another day it looks to be fixed.
I've seen no visible leakage and there are no longer bubbles in the reservoir. When the lid of the reservoir is removed fluid does still gurgle up, which concerns me, but no bubbles present....
Off to try and get my o2 sensors off and relocated now.

I have the JDM plug........ in my garage somewhere
If you ever find that please lemme know, unless you decide to use it, as I'm not sure my solution is adequate...
D'oh I didn't take a picture, but basically I cut a piece of stripped Romex and filed it down on the ends so that it would fit into the clip connector. After which time I Gorilla taped it in place
I think if I make it a week or so without a code I will probably pillage the heat sensor and just solder the pigtail wires off of it's connector and plug it in instead. But if this doesn't work I already have to buy another EGR and EGR Modulator so I think it best to keep the parts list as small as possible at this point.
I had a leak in that area last year after mcgrew or something. the emergency tape might have worked if I could have found it...in the glove box!
Any rubber hose with clamps should be(me too) changes at the earliest convienence. Mine was burried pretty good.

Are you in need of assistance?? Easter Sunday it will be tough to find a parts store open. Perhaps you could leave it there a few days and wait for your rig to "rise from the dead"....??
I thought you were just "posing" for a picture but the open hood was a new one to me. Suspension and hood articulation demo....

Nah, Travis was just goofing around. We are home now. The high pressure line gasket either gave or non-existent. Dumped some atf in there and gtg.
Good news! Did you spot any salmon making their way upriver??

No, not still there. That was hardly even detained. I had the hood open to add fluid and then drove out. Matter of fact right after that posed for pic in the river 
Pics in the river!!?? Were you sittin' on the tailgate with a pitchfork??

Did I say in the river...I meant near the river
Hey, somebody- I think Ty mentioned you might have a 33" tire over there that I might be able to use for a spare..? My spare is old and no good. Keep your eyes peeled for any decent 33" tire that would make a reliable spare for me OK?? Thanks.

nice boots!!! size? review?
Knolly would know better than I, but he seems to like them.... which is good because they are mine
Awaiting the axle swap and my 35's are going to him and I will have my new shoes. 
Yep, but think its 315/75r16
I think this whole thing is going a little too far- some sort of enabling bad habit deal
