You can use the P/S box out of a 72 and later truck. If you can, find a doner that has everything you will need. P/S box, P/S pump, pump mounting brackets and crank pully.
Ues an adapter plate from REZ Engineering and follow their directions. Some welding of the column shaft is required to shorten it.
I used a P/S box from Mullins Steering Gears that was performance tuned for 3 turn lock-to-lock. I was glad I did.
I installed a tilt column and Borgensen vibration dampner on the column and connected it to the box with a DD shaft and another Borgesen U-joint. Everything bolted up to the REZ adapter in an afternoon with no welding required.
The REZ adapter is the ONLY way to do this. It mounts the box in perfect alignment and has a backing plate that reinforces the fram from stress cracking.
