I have an Eaton power steering pump and reservoir on my 352 but the bracket broke somehow during disassembly. My local junkyards say they don't have any and I was told it will cost $50 to weld it with no guarantees and the bushings might get ruined while removing them. Can anyone tell me where I can find one or an alternative? It looks like the broken one had a bend to it as you can see in the last picture but I don't know if that is a result of it being bent prior to breaking. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Eaton P/S pumps were not used on trucks, only 1953/64 Passenger Cars, 1965 Mustang's before 8/23/1964...all with POWER ASSIST P/S only.
The Eaton P/S pump has the reservoir either mounted on top of the pump or if hood clearance was an issue (1955/57 T-Birds for an example), remotely mounted on the left fender inner apron.
1966/68 F100/250 2WD's were available with Bendix integral P/S, the pump has a steel reservoir made as part of it.
If this is the same 1966 F100 4WD you need that "draglink bushing" for, 1973 was the first year that P/S was available for 4WD's, so you have swapped-in P/S from lawd only knows what.
Thanks Number Dummy! I took your info and I see one on Ebay complete with pump and pulley with a starting bid of $122. I will go back to the junkyard with the correct information, thanks to you.

There are FOUR different Eaton P/S pumps, and these were used on other makes besides FoMoCo vehicles.
At the front of the pump is a large bolt head, the pump's prefix & suffix (minus 3A674) is usually stamped on it.
