Default power steering transfer lines

Hello, my truck is rapidly falling apart on me. My power steering transfer line just blew open a hole from rusting out. I don't want to change the whole rack and pinion, do they sell those lines separately or can I maybe take a fuel line and bend it and replace? If so, what size?
Thanks

They sell the pressure and return hoses separately. You can get both from Rock Auto for under $20. Or your local parts store should have them as well.

The ones on the rack and pinion it self? All steel lines I need. I just checked out the ones on rock auto and those seem to come to and from the pump or cooler.

Just take the fitttings to a hose supplier and get them to whip you up some ptfe braided line. And never worry about them again.
