Well, let's keep this party rollin'. Here's a pic of the original style. Doesn't work well with the typical A/C compressor but it is a fat neck. A model #HBA-BC

Although it doesn't work with the factory installed compressor mounts, it works just fine with the dealer installed kit made by Mapco, Ford p/n C6TZ 19B969-B with Mapco part 183-1 compressor mount and the later D1TZ 19B969-B that used Mapco part 183-1A for the compressor mount. These mounts angle the outboard end of the compressor up sufficiently to clear the fat neck of the "non a/c" pump. Below is a picture of the later 183-1A bracket which aligns the compressor sheave with the 4th sheave at the crank.

I have a 1965 F100 352 FE with 3 on column. Trying to find a PS box, pitman arm and other items to convert from Armstrong steering to PS (I'm getting old). Anyone have what I'm looking for? I've tried Desert Valley AP without luck. Thanks!

Here is the easiest way without different engine stands, firewall bracket and shortening your steering column. Not cheap! Reman boxes are $700-800

Do you still have the PS box, etc. that you posted? Looking for setup for my 1965 F100.
