If the 350 is a 4 wheel truck it should work, the duallys may be different.

Ford did not offer F350's with 4WD until 1979.

Ford did not offer P/S in F350's until mid-year 1969 (from serial number D96,001). Ford-Saginaw P/S was used.

So with said, will the ps from say a 1972 f100 or f250 work on my 68 f350. Just tryin to figure out exactly what I need to look for.

Thanks in advance

I would think it would work. I did it the other way around. I used the column from a '73 F-350 and the power steering box from a '76 F-100 in my '69 F-100. No problems. Everything just bolted right in. Note: If your truck didn't have power steering to begin with you might have to change the drivers side engine mounting perch to get the P/S box in there.
