M939 power steering fittings

[MiniCritters]

The hardline from the power steering to the right actuator were it meets at the frame rail blew off. I am looking for a source for the flared compression fittings for a M925. Also what type of fluid is preferred for the power steering. The lubrication manual calls for OE/HDO 10? Is it the same as MIL-H-5606?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as without power steering it is a little hard to handle.

Most of the fittings on a truck are # 4s or # 6s as far as steering goes. The cylinder on the passengers side of the truck has 1/4" pipe fittings into the cylinder and change to #4 fittings. If its going thru the frame rail I normally eliminate that and make it one long hose all the way across limiting the vibration and flex on fixed fittings. I have a friend in Corvallis that is slightly military truck savy if you need me to send him over to you. My cell is in my signature.
