It is an external power steering ram set up likr on old corevettes. They leaked real bad and of the few trucks that were so equipped, many have been removed and ditched.
This was avalible on 10 - 30 series trucks.

I had a 67 Panel truck with "power assist". The only parts of the system worth keeping/selling were the pump and brackets off the 292 I6. As Andy stated, these systems leak like a seive, and mine was no exception. Pretty goofy looking setup.
