I would go to your local Napa dealer. If they were removed I would suspect a problem or contamination with the entire system. You might not like the price to replace all the critical parts. Don't scrimp on the vital things needed to fix this. Nothing more important than brakes and steering.

The Ford Truck Shop Manual contains much information on power steering that you may find helpful. It's in the volume on "Chassis" (Vol. 1)(Group 13). Try to get one for 1977.

2WD or 4WD? If 4WD, there are 2 completely different types of P/S systems, it depends on when the truck was assembled.

#1: 1977 F250 4WD "High Boy" assembled before serial number Y20,001: Bendix Power Assist P/S: Has a control valve and hydraulic ram cylinder, uses 4 different P/S hoses, 2 short and 2 long.

#2: 1977 F250 4WD assembled from serial number Y40,001. Has Ford integral P/S that requires 2 hoses.

1977 F250 2WD is similar to #2.

X2 about any big box auto parts store like Napa, AutoZone, O'Reily's, should have them. Even Rock Auto, but returning incorrectly ordered lines can be a PITA, at least if you get them at a parts you can walk back in and return or exchange.

And yes 2wd or 4wd, post the vi# and ND will let you know just what you need.




Side note, welcome back Bill.
