Take a look at the Corvette power steering setup used from 63 - to the mid
eighties. I believe the manual and power steering systems used the same
steering boxes. The power steering control valves and steering connected
to the steering linkage. Looks like it may be adapted in.
Good luck,
Gary

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.
