Looks like a Toyota box conversion kit? They don't have a pump option for the Flathead listed. Search for posts here posts for Toyota steering box. You can use a manual steering box and have an improvement over stock or go with the power option. Pretty sure it's an adapter plate, different or modified pitman arm and there is a kit to modify the lower part of the column for the joint to connect to the box. It even keeps the stock horn working. There are options for pumps and mounting locations so search for the posts. Sorry I don't know how to post the links. Sometimes I get it and sometimes I just make a mess.
I gathered up a Toyota box and a Toyota pump, then decided to stay stock. Not that hard to steer for me.
The pump is a standard Saginaw pump it is what I have on mine with the 400 series box. That being said I am taking mine off and installing an independent front suspension on the 55 . I was happy with the 400 series gear box.
Saginaw made power steering pump/reserviors for many different vehicles. I picked up my mine with a V belt pulley from a salvage yard for a few bucks. I made my own mounting bracket for it. I got the Toyota 4X4 gearbox from the following web site. Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market You put in what you are looking for and it gives you a list of places that have it. I had it shipped to me for under $150. I got the hoses and coversion kit from Mid Fifty. They also offer the 400 series kit.

I just purchased that 400 series kit from mid-fifty. I know the Toyota pump is a very popular one, but in the end my fear of availability, say, 10 years from now to perform maintenance on it was the deciding factor. the 400 kit was, however, not how I wanted to spend my tax refund.
Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm hoping the 400 series box works out well for me.
