John, I'll suggest that you hunt Craigslist & local classifieds and locate a 73 to early 80's 3/4 project or rust-bucket part out truck. It will have everything you need except brake booster. You could also luck into a newer tranny and NP 205 and single driveline with the right truck. I just swaped in a 75 K20 front axle into my 67... no hunting for steering parts. The power steering box is the same as a 71-72 4x4. I'm also getting the pads/shock mounts re-located on the 14 bolt FF rear so I don't have to hassle with bearing & brake supply issues for a Eatons.
