I bought a new one from Rock Auto for my '66. It had the correct fittings but was not the identical shape of the original although it connected just fine without interference.

A good option is to take your old hose to a place that works on forklifts, heavy equipment, and/or semi trucks. They'll have the equipment to make hydraulic lines of any size, shape and length with the correct crimped fittings.

Take your original to a hydraulic shop and have them clean/re-use the metal connector parts and replace the hose to correct specification. I did that for mine. It's impossible to find the correct hose for these. And 67 up Eldorados are different.

Thanks everybody. My local shop said they couldn't reuse my orig fittings so I bought a new hose from Advance pn 36121. The fitting angles are a little different but close. I think it looks better than their recommended hose pn 36212.
