Just blew the power steering hose on my 318 1975. Anybody had to get one yet? If so where'd you find it and do you have a part number. Thanks.
P.S. Do I have a story to tell tonight......T.J.

Most hydraulic hose and fitting supply stores stock the hose and the ends to make you a new one. Sometimes they have to reuse your ends, but this usually less money and easier than trying to find one from a parts store.

I took the old one in to a place that sells to light truck fleets, and they had a replacement on the shelf. However, I also got a section of the braided--wire hose to fit my old piping, after I cut the ferrules off. I clamped that on using 3 clamps on each side, and periodically re-tightened the clamps over the next day and week and month. That temp repair has held up for 7 years so far. The new hose will go on my other Winnie.

I went to a NAPA when the Ark's hose blew...that particular NAPA in Plainfield, CT made it for me...some NAPAs actually manufacture hydrolic hoses, which is what a power steering hose is.  If you can't find one on a shelf, a lot of tractor places can manufacture hydrolic hoses as well.
