How many PSI does that T-Bird Power Rack need? My Mustang Rack uses 7-800psi. As you know the majority of Chevy truck guys use Chevy engines with GM power steering pumps that supply about 1200psi. It would be prudent of you as a vender to give your buyers a heads up to this issue as well as some suggested ways to lower the GM pump pressure.
I learned the hard way that the Ford Rack & GM Pump are NOT compatible out of the box. Mine was an easy fix (a $20 set of shims) but others using Hydroboost need a more complicated solution.
