1966/68 F100/250/2WD; 1969 F100/250 2WD before serial number D96,001 available with Bendix P/S, but this is not Bendix P/S, because...
C6AR-3580-A2 is the ID engineering number for the sector shaft cover (D1AZ-3580-A replaced C6AZ-3580-A) with Ford/Saginaw P/S:
1965 and later cars, 1969 F100/250 2WD from serial number D96,001, 1970/79 F100/250 2WD & F350.
But this cover was used on many years of cars/trucks, so it's impossible to know what year the box is by this sector shaft cover ID number.

Since Ford changed the ID engineering number and the part number for the sector shaft cover in 1971, the Ford/Saginaw P/S box is probably from a 1969 F100/250 2WD & F350 from serial number D96,001; Ditto 1970.
Ford changed the steering wheel in 1971, has 2 spokes using a horn bar.
1961/70 F100/250 2WD; 1966/70 F100 4WD; 1967/70 F250 4WD; 1969/70 F350 have a 3 spoke 17" diameter steering wheel using either a horn button or horn ring.
