If the price is right, snap it up.
There are rebuild kits for the pumps.
Where? Who has any?
Dealer installed Power Assist P/S. Forget it,
NO parts available! P/S pump is an Eaton, but it's not the same 900 or 1000 series pump used in 1953/64 Ford/Merc Passenger Cars, 1965 Mustang's w/a generator.
The ram has to be cut open to install the seals. Where will you find a seal kit? Where will you find a seal kit for the leaking P/S control valve? Where will you find the specific to Power Assist P/S suspension parts?
I haven't a clue why grown men fell the need to swap in P/S in these trucks. Your grannies drove huge cars without P/S for decades.
