more power steering BS 67 C10

[Blue67]

I sent my used steering ram to a machine shop that specializes in them and after 3 weeks they called and told me he can not rebuild it. I have two options as I see it. Can I just remove all the PS components and have manual steering? The second option is to up grade to a newer system. I looked at my frame and it has the dimples so I think a newer gearbox will bolt to the frame. What else would I need to get. I searched the threads and found some info but I want to be sure. Can I reuse my PS pump and pitman arm? It looks like I will need a different center link also but can is there a year out there that I can get and not have to change the tierod ends actually I may need to replace them any way now that I think about it. I also saw info on swapping out the whole front suspension.
