I tryed the search and nothing was as specific as I
need.

I want to convert the power assist on my Highboy to an integral type. I can get my hands on an integral power steering box and pump for a very good price. I looked it over and it's in very good shape, and rotates the right way. But (there's allways a but) it is EXREMELY tall, if I remember right over 15 inches from the bottom of the housing to the top. That height would mandate moving the power steering pump closer to the engine (a 460).

Here's the Part number; D7TC-3550-BA. Obviously it's from a 77 Ford truck but what is it specifically, has it been used in converting Highboys, is it strong enough for modestly agressive offroading, and is there a reasonably priced alternative that may be easier? (meaning one where I don't have to move the power steering pump.)

Thanks in advance for any and all responses. (except for the ones telling me NOT to change the power assist.)
