Power steering upgrade

Want to upgrade my manual steering to power. Does anyone have an idea of what years I can pull the donor parts from? Checking the inventory on the local junk yards. Do I need anyhting else besides the pump, brackets, steering box?

thanks!

Reed

In principle, it's the same as How to Install Power Steering in a 2WD F100/250/350 - FORDification.com

If I were you, I'd go the whole nine yards and install discs too... get the entire setup (including I-beams) from a 75-79 half-ton 2WD.

He doesn't need to add disc brakes, 1973 and up 2wd should already have disc brakes standard.
