I'm going to go way out on a limb here, but I believe that the front
ends were pretty much the same from 41 through 59 (solid axle, leaf
springs, single tie rod.) Power steering was an option from 55-2
through 59 on these front ends. The power steering mechanism was
a different gearbox and a hydraulic cylinder that pushed on the tie
rod. I believe Classic Performance pretty much duplicates this mechanism
for the TF trucks. Here is where I am really taking a flier. It
may be possible that these kits would work on an earlier solid axle
truck.
Otherwise, you are pretty much stuck cobbling something together
from a newer steering box.
