Power Steering Identification help needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 1969 GMC 1/2 ton has about 1/4 to 3/8 of a turn play in the manual steering box. I am considering my options to change it.

I have a couple other parts trucks with manual steering boxes in them, but I am thinking if I am going to the trouble why not install power steering.

First picture shows my truck engine. Truck has a 305 from the late 70's in it.

From the searching and reading I have been doing I understand what waterpump I have might be of concern. So what waterpump do I have?

My crank pulley has 3 groves and my water pump pulley has 2 groves. Would I run the power steering belt over both the crank and water pump pulleys?
