Power Steering Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi everyone!
I drive a 1967 c10 with a 283 and it has manual steering. Recently I came across someone who had a 79 Chevy pick up with a v8 & power steering they were parting out. I am able to get all of the components for power steering: pump mounting brackets, crankshaft pulley, hoses, power steering box, pitman arm, and rag joint for $100. I know that I will have to dimple the frame on my truck or possibly use spacers, and may end up trading out a pump and putting new seals in the power steering box, but are there any other things that you can think of that would make this swap non-workable?
All help appreciated!
