Guys, I completed the power steering conversion today. Nothing to it. Utilize teh forist lower mounting bolt hole from the original steering box. That is you begining point. Take good measurements, and match the measurements. You will need to fabricate spacers to mount the later model sterring box as it is not flat on the mouting side. The pitman arm will bolt right into the drag line. When you purchase the steering box, also get the first section of the the steering shaft. This it the collapsible portion of the shaft. Cut it off about 6" above the rag joint. the inside dimeter of the tube is 3/4", that same as the OD of the stock steering shaft. Cut off about 6" of the stock shaft about 6" above the rag joint. it will slip down into the later modle shaft you have cut off. Use the trial & error method to determine the exact length needed to reach teh steering wheel. once you have done that, weld the rag joint to the stock shaft. Put the shaft into the column first, bold on the steering box, slide the rag joint into place, bold on the pumb, hook up the lines, and you are in business.
Easy.......
