most all of the kits sold use basiclly the same parts, same helm assy. hose that you install ends your self, no stopping right here, battled the hose issue myself, at this point hard to beat the hardin kit but I would get it without the hose and ends, measure and have them made locally with pressed on ends...and it's not just hardin that sells the hoses this way, the brackets for the drive do vary from kit to kit but all do the same thing...keep a eye on how much room you have behind the dash and room to gauges/switches...ran into issues on the 253 checkmate and going to have to change to a longer column to get fixed right...
