Can't say for certain, its my dads buddies truck, i've only really looked at it once a i know it has the 351m, and that it used to have a 460, yes the power steering pump and bracket are just hanging over to the side, i was told he'd sell it for less than $1000, the body is in great shape low rust, cab mounts are good, floors are good.

351M/400 were only available until the 1983 model year, when the 460 came back.
There were no 335 series engines available or installed in 1985 model year trucks.
One easy way to tell if it was an original 460 truck is to use the eigth(?) digit of the VIN.
Another is to look for the oil filter clearance divot in the front crossmember.

Well the timing case is completely different on a 335 series engine, so i doubt the power steering pump bracket can be made to fit.
The crankshaft also has different projection at the rear of the block so it is difficult to mate a 351M/400 to a 460 transmission even though the bell bolt pattern is the same.

If it has the oil filter dent in the crossmember the 460 was in there, because Windsor & I-6 trucks didnt have that.
I'd say someone swapped a 150 cab onto a 460 chassis, but then you would have eight lug hubs.
What kind of front axle and suspension does this truck have?
I wonder how well seated the torque converter is (given the different crank stickout (or if there is some kind of adapter in there)

If you are not very mechanically inclined or know nothing about vehicles, a truck that has been seriously messed with like this one can be a very difficult school of hard knocks. I envision a lot of butt spliced wiring and a general mess. Be prepared for the worst if you buy it, I think the power steering bracket is going to be the least of your worries.

Most but not all transmissions are smaller in the f150's, they won't hold up. The wheel bearings and suspension are smaller in the front, the 460 is heavy. I believe even the 9 inch Ford would have warranty issues stuck between a 460 and a heavy RV trailer going up a mountain or two.

That's probably the real reason instead of my post. They did put 460's in station wagons and they did pull some big trailers with those in the 70's.
