Help! 67 Power steering problem

I went for a drive today in my 67 C10 CST and when I stopped to back into my Grandfathers driveway I heard a bang and my power steering went away. I figured I threw a belt but went I looked under the truck I got a nasty surprise. The last owner fabricated the power assist ram bracket and some how the bracket tore a big chunk out of the frame where he bolted it in. This caused the end of the ram to brake off. Now I have a ram with the end broken off and the area where the bracket bolts to the frame is destroyed. The truck is not stock so I can convert it over to a newer PS system but have no idea what it would cost. I guess I could repair the frame and try to locate a correct bracket and get a new ram as well. What do you truck experts think would be the best plan. My main concern is safety. My wife sometimes drives this truck and I am scared to think of what would have happened if it let loose at 55 MPH on a curve with her driving it. Thanks Steve
