Power steering upgrade
I've got a 96 F350on 38's and the power steering is going bad. I figured now would be a good time for an upgrade. I've read about the saginaw pump upgrade that involves using E350 parts and from what I can tell the mounting bracket and pump on my truck and a 95 E350 appear identical. Are they identical and already saginaws or do I need a different year pump and bracket for this upgrade?

I got my sag pump and bracket off a mid 80s box van with a 460. I see no reason a pump and bracket from another 351w in a van wouldnt work....especially if you find one off a similar year. You "may" have to make up new lines for the correct fittings but I would grab the lines off the van when you pull the pump/bracket.
Very easy swap and infinitely better than the whining plastic Ford boxes.

they used to sell a remaned saginaw pump that used the standard ford mount but it is hard to find because it was discontinued and the only company that was remanning them does 50/50 work. you may never have a problem with it, or it might whine like hell and spit fluid everywhere.
here's the part # Cardone 20-6244 PS pump. check all of your local parts stores as they may have a few left over in the stock room if you're lucky. if that doesn't pan out, i found a website that had some, but lost the address when my old computer died. it was something along the lines of autoparts warehouse.com or something like that.

Putting a chevy PSP may be the best idea ive heard so far... I have looked for the last year trying to get a reman saginaw and have had no luck. I'm in need of a new pump pretty bad and dont know what to do...

between here, pirate, and fullsize bronco it's really seemed like a 50/50 split so you may be better off checking with one of the online national pull-a-parts that ships and just get a bracket and core to rebuild yourself.

might be your lucky day. a guy on fsb is selling the bracket and pulley for the swap that uses the readily available van saginaw pump. he just got an offer maybe you can get it still though. i might be able to broker the deal for you. here's a link, but i think you have to be a member to view it, and you have to have x amount of posts to post in the classified section.
