Our 69 GTX still has its original power steering pressure line and the rubber is in great shape. The stamped lettering on it is very faded and almost not able to be read. The gold cad metal ends on it still has some of the plating left but we are going to send it out to have it replated since the plating is almost totally gone on one end and very little left on the other end. I, too, would love to find a way to get the yellow lettering back onto the rubber part of the hose though.
