Default Power steering hoses

So my lines are leaking. A lot. I have access to everything I need to make my own hoses, but I don't know about the fittings. Does anyone know what fittings are on the ends of the hoses? Are they an off the wall size or type? I really don't want to remove the hoses until I am ready to make the new ones. Which means if I need to get special fittings, I'd like to do that prior to removal.

More searching reveals they might be AN fittings. Can anyone confirm this info?

BTW - as another "hosed" idea - always wondered if you could make up an adapter to go in line with the engine oil cooler to provide an easier spot to insert a PSI test gauge port.....

Off the top of your head, do you know the threads for that port? I could definitely look into while doing the PS hoses.

I just did a PSI test (and it passed - holy poop!) - had to buy a 1/2 X 20 thread adapter for the oil switch port - blister pack aisle at parts store. But I was thinking inserting a T with the oil cooler lines, those have a straight pipe with an O ring, not sure the thread on those.

Ahh, I might just have to pull one and look then. T fittings are easy to get, just need to know what style it is.
