The Ford parts catalog shows this fitting 73-76 F250 4WD but I believe that it's also for the early '77 F250 4WD. In Feb. '77 (s/n Y20,001) the F250 became "lowboys" and the steering system changed to integral power steering instead of the power assist that you have.

Bushing kit, power steering cylinder piston rod end bushing
D3TZ-3C590-A
Last dealer cost $26.45, last list $44.08

Green Sales, Cincinnati, OH has 1 (800) 543-4959
Bayer Ford-Mercury, Comanche, TX has 2 (325) 356-2777
Schaumburg Ford, Schaumburg, IL has 4 (847) 605-0800
Autonation Ford-Lincoln, Morrow, GA has 7 (770) 964-8604
Ted Britt Ford-Lincoln, Chantilly, VA has 6 (703) 673-2360
Pacifico Marple Ford-Lincoln-Mercury, Broomall, PA has 2 (610) 353-7220

There are more available, let me know if you want more contact info.
Here is the illustration from the parts catalog.
BTW, welcome to FTE. Lots of good people here.

Bushing kit, power steering cylinder piston rod end bushing: D3TZ-3C590-A / Available from Ford
MSRP: $44.08 / Dealer net cost: $26.45 / autonationfordwhitebearlake.com online price: $29.10

Use with Garrison & Bendix Power Assist P/S

Garrison: 1973/75 F100 4WD; 1975 F150 4WD; 1973 F250 4WD; 1974 F250 4WD before serial number T80,001.

Bendix: 1974 F250 4WD from serial number T80,001 / 1975/76 F250 4WD / 1977 F250 4WD before serial number Y20,001.

Applications: 1973/75 F100/250 4WD / 1976 F250 4WD / 1977 F250 4WD (High Boy) before serial number Y20,001.

Parts catalog is in error when it says 1973/76, because the same cylinder was used on all 1974/77 F250 4WD High Boys with Bendix P/S

gear ratio's

On my 77 Highboy I do have the normal 44 Dana front end in 60 Dana rear end. I need to replace the ring and pinion in the rear end which is a 410 ratio but before I bought the parts or I'm going to buy the parts I figured I would look at the front and to see if they were the same and what I'm reading on the Ring of the front end is 45 - 11 is this normal or should it also be a 4:10?

45/11 works out to 4.09 ratio. It's not uncommon for the ratios to be off by a hair.
