L6 power steering upgrade

I'm just tryin' to plan out my power steering upgrade. I've got the brackets and water pump pulleys, getting the harmonic balancer with pulleys next week (from NAPA) and now I come to the steering box. Anything special about
this that I should know? Do I need to get one from the same era truck or go with the vehicle I took the brackets and pulleys from or does it even matter?
The truck is a 68 c10 with a 230ci L6 (I know, I know they didn't do this...but they did). If I'm missing something let me know....lookin' for confidence to do this myself (with friends of course).

A pump from the same era would look nice but not necessary. Mine is from a mid to late 70's. The main thing is the pulleys lining up.

Just dive in and start putting the parts in. If you encounter a problem then holler back at us.
