If you buy a used box be sure to get the high pressure hose and the fitting that screws into box. it is an unusual size (17mm) and very hard to find (note that low pressure return hose uses a 16mm fitting at the box. The 16mm return fitting will screw into the 17mm port but will leak badly!)
Thanks for the explanation. This pump seems to be a crysler. on the support I guess I'll have to build one because I have no support. And find a new groove in the crankshaft pulley. The measures are ka tells me pump or steering box?

Capelo, the measurements are the size of the two hose fittings at the steering box. The hose fittings at the pump is a 16mm. So for the pressure hose it needs to have a 16mm male inverted flare fitting on each end with a short steel tube attached to the rubber hose with a machine crimped steel crimp fitting (not removeable) and the low pressure return hose is a cut to length plain rubber hydraulic fluid hose that is sized to push over permanent reservoir return tube on the pump and over the short length of steel tube protruding out of 17mm return fitting on box. since this is a low pressure hose, it is secured with a small stainless hose clamp at each end. If you should not have enough clearance for the return hose to fit between the box and your exhaust headers, a company gottashow.com makes a beautiful but pricey set of stainless braid covered hoses with their own special SS low profile "banjo" fittings specially for this application.

That pitman arm in your picture appears to be the right one. Ask them or count the splines. You might want to order a new pitman shaft nut for the Toyota box. I think Toyota hired Godzilla to tighten it at the factory. I had to split mine to get it off after I broke my medium duty 3" bench vise. Don't heat it or you will likely melt the shaft seal, making more work! Feel free to ask more questions if needed.

This pump appears to have the mounting bracket holes on the right hand side of the pump, which would make it difficult to mount on the right hand side of the engine. The tag says Chrysler, which would be mounted of the left hand side (facing from front) of the engine.

Are you going to buy a 2 groove balancing damper or are you looking for a add on pulley that bolts on to your old one?

For me the two options are complicated by where I live. I think I will try to make a screwing the original
