Power Steering Pump??
So people talk about putting the Saginaw steering pump into these old trucks and it would require a bracket to be made for it too fit on my set up, (FE engine---78-79 F250 4x4 steering gear). If I'm going to go through the hassle of making a bracket is there any other pump yall would recommend, or is this just the best of the best. Has anybody used a pump off of a newer truck or car (Super duty, Newer F-150, Ram, etc...). I'm just trying to get my options open but from research that came out of Pirate4x4.Com - Extreme Four Wheel Drive , I'm going to assume that the Saginaw is the best... Any thoughts?

I just put a NAPA reman Ford pump in my '78 dent. I used the version with a built in magnetic filter. I put new flex lines in at the same time. No problems.
NAPA advertises a "super heavy duty" reman version which i believe is the saginaw pump set up to mount in place of the Ford. I didn't go that route but may be worth checking into although I did hear that they are often not available.

NAPA discontinued the saginaw converson pump. If you live in a small town you might get lucky, but otherwise everyone has been SOL on those NAPA pumps.
Normally it is Cardone 20-6244 which was discontinued around 2008, from what I gather NAPA followed suit in early 2010, but still had plenty in stock into well into 2011.

There's a company out there that sells the brackets to convert your engine to a standard saginaw pump. It's pricey, but it comes with everything, ...including the pump. Another member here put it on his truck. I don't remember who, though.

HIOSilver told me about those brakets and he even posted a link. If I'm going to have to spend that much on the braket I'll just wait a year and use the ford pump till I get access to the cnc machine.
I think the general conclusion out there is that the Saginaw pump is the best and that's what should be gotten.

Yep. That is the general concensus. Don't know that you would need a Cnc machine to make a power steering bracket. It would be handy, but not necessarily necessary.
