I used the '58-'60 steering box kit on my '61(not the ram style like the old Mustangs). Not too hard to modify it to fit. I also updated to a '76 column at the same time so I could get turn signals with hazard flasher built into the switch.

What? Why would I want to use a worm and roller over a recirclating ball steering box?

CPP offers 2 styles of power steering kits. One is the old style ram system used with the stock steering box like on the old Mustangs, the other is a complete modern style steering box. I guess I wasn't quite clear on that.
I'm not a fan of the ram style, although I can see the attraction for someone doing the conversion in their own garage without access to air tools or a welder.
I used CPP's modern steering box conversion that they list on their site as fitting the '58-'60 truck. Slight modification to the truck frame and steering box bracket was necessary, but overall the installation was easy and fairly painless.
