Unhappy Bendix in a '73?

Anyone know why my '73 F100 has a Bendix P/S gear box in it? Or where to get a new one? The more common T shaped box won't fit in my truck.

Bendix P/S: 1966/68 F100/250 2WD; 1969 F100/250 2WD before serial number D96,001.

Ford/Saginaw P/S: 1969 F100/250 2WD & F350 from serial number D96,001; 1970/79 F100/250 2WD & F350.

Like I said, a Bendix




This is what came out of my truck. Definitely a Bendix. And there is no room to put the gear box that supposedly is the one that goes in '73s.
