For powersteering,check truck parts houses for a hydraulic ram assist kit.AGR makes kits for light-duty 4wds,possibly you could get somewhere with them.Another thought to take care of both would be check into a hydro-boost p/b-p/s set-up from light diesel of 1 ton.May not be suited for your gross weight,though.Other than that,look in the boneyard for a C50 with these units.

Check around for old school busses, most had ps and pb. If you don't find anything local, I have a neighbor that has several junk busses and may have what you need.

Why not use a PS pump and bracket from the 350 donor truck of your choice and a standard Saginaw box?

I don't think the steering boxes from 10-30 series trucks will work on the 40-60 series.
