Power steering help

Help, I have a 51 F3 that I'm in the process of restoring, I have done some research on power steering options, all the options are for the F1, are any of the power steering options out there compatible with the F3, or if there is a kit out the for the F3, any help is much appreciated, Thank You

F1-F3 shares the front suspension. Only difference are the brakes and hub. Steering is the same. Toyota power steering will work just fine in your F3.

Thank you 51panelman, I was not sure if they were the same, I was looking into the rack and pinion for the straight axle due to the clearance for headers, but was told the front ends are different, I will look into the Toyota steering box, Thank You again
