electric power steering w/ manual box

As a follow-up of this thread:https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...38&postcount=1
I would like to know what is the best option these days to upgrade a live axle truck to power steering? I like the idea of electric power steering but are a little concerned about the steering ratio. I understand a quickener would help.
Also, the manual steering box would need to be rebuilt, to get the best possible feel.
Ignoring the length of the steering shaft, would it be possible to use the available 55+ car or 63+ Corvette worm gear in the truck steering box to get a 16:1 ratio? Could a place like Lares perhaps build something like this?
