P-400 power steering

Anyone know if there's an off-the-shelf power steering box that will plug-n-play into my 1973 P400 (2-ton Ford chassis with an Olson bread van body on top, forward control but not quite COE like a C-series)? Even a part number for the existing box would help; I can't find one. It's a push-pull setup with a J-arm and drag link, but I have no other info.

Or any other ideas for power steering, that aren't a $2500 hydraulic ram kit made for rockcrawlers?

P400 is a P series Parcel Delivery, P/S was not offered.

C series is a tilt cab cab over engine.
