Steering box swap for 53 f100?

Is there any steering boxes other than the Toyota that will bolt in to a 1953 F100?
One of my friends told me that you can bolt in a larger F-series steering box that will make the steering much easier due to larger gears in the box.
Any help to my questions are much appreciated!!

I’m not aware of any other swap from a gear box perspective however let me tell you what challenges I had using the Toyota box. The first problem you will have is clearance with regards to headers. I could not find an affordable set of headers to fit with the Toyota box installed, ended up using the stock manifolds from the 86 351W. There is a rack option that has been setup for the stock axle's for those trucks, a bit more expensive but would eliminate a lot of other problems. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
