steering column question

Hey, anyone ever done a power steering conversion on a 47-55/1st truck(actual truck in question is a '54 3100)that involved cutting the original column and shaft off the box and converting to a different box?
I've done this on a Tri-Five when we added power steering and wondered if there was such a kit for the trucks. Also did the power gear box kit on the '59 we're building, but on that we used an Ididit column.
This project was brought to our shop with the column already cut aprox. 2-3" above where it mates with the gearbox. Looks like they took a sawzall and sliced right through the whole thing, shaft, tube and all. If there's a kit involving cutting the column and installing a new lower bushing, u-joints, shaft and box, I'd like to know before I spend big bucks on a new stock steering box.
