I bought a 1950 F1 two months ago it has a 1985 302 HO the old owner put A/C in but at 73 I need powder steering, would someone please send me the part # or a picture of a ford pump bracket for my engine. I will try to find one on EBAY. THANKS

I'm running one of those "other" engines, so I can't help with the bracket, but I'd expect you local Ford dealer parts counter man could. What power steering are you using?

 

It is from a Toyota on order from Hot Rod trucks

Toyota Steering Box Swap For 1948-1960 Trucks .: Articles

At the time it was written, there was no specific install kits for the 48-52 trucks so I talk about adapting the 53-56 kit. Yours should be a little different.

 

On mine, all I could find was the round PS pump system off of mid-80s trucks, while I was looking for the saginaw "canned ham type" (66 289 in a 1950 F1), so I looked around and finally settled on one off of a diesel Ford (1989 van chassis). The bracket lined up pretty well and I just had to do a little bit of trimming and weld on 2 spacers.

 

The saginaw "canned hams" can be found most GM cars as well as some Fords, Mopars, and others, it was a highly popular pump:

1968-'74 AMC
1963-'74 Chevy and GMC light-duty trucks
Some 1965-'74 Chrysler products
Some 1972-'74 Ford cars, IHC trucks and Jeeps
1963-'74 GM passenger cars (full-size Chevy cars as early as '61)
1975-'79 AMC and Jeep
1975-'79 Ford light-duty pickups and IHC trucks
1974-'79 Ford cars
1973-'87 Jaguars
1975-'79 Chrysler cars and Dodge trucks
All 1975-'79 GM cars and light-duty trucks
1977-'78 Volvos

WOW! what a cool project! I've bookmarked the page so I can read it completely and watch your progress!

 

I'll have to look, but might have that pump bolted to an engine I have sitting in the garage. If I do, would let it go cheap to an fte'r

 

Man that would be great

 

The team will do a engine run this weekend, Jessi Combs should be here for a little seat time, we are going to the Alvord Desert the first two weeks of Oct. for some 600MPH test runs. If every thing works out Jessi will become the fastest woman alive.

 

If you have the pump and will let it go tell me how you want plus S/H
