Has anybody converted the hoses on there 1st gen truck from going along the top of the firewall (RWD only) to front under radiator like 2nd gen trucks. I am thinking I can just buy the 2nd gen hose assemblies and make a support bracket to hold them in place. Have any of you done this ?

You can route power steering lines just about any way you can think of. I don't know if one gen directly fits the other, but there is nothing stopping you from trying it.

I want a factory look so I was curious if anyone has used hoses tailored to a second gen on a first. I don't want the sawzall crew look.

In that case, just about any hose shop can make them any way you want them if you can justify the price. I usually build custom PS lines from -AN fittings, hose, and hard lines.
