Newer Style STEERING PUMP

ON MY 74 F250 WITH A 78 79 POWER STEERING BOX. Some one said that I am still using the old steering pump.
What newer pump are you using for this conversion

1978: Ford changed the P/S pump on everything except Passenger Cars with Hydro-Boost & Econolines.

This pump has a plastic reservoir, it's a different shape than the steel reservoir pump. The P/S pressure connects to this pump w/a qwik connect fitting.

If your truck has a 360/390, its P/S pump mounting brackets will not fit this plastic reservoir pump.

Even Ford knew their pump was not that good as they started using the Saginaw pump on the 80's vans with a 300 six.
I guess if you like the "pump wine" then nothing wrong with he old Ford pump LOL

I like the Ford pump whine. I remember it from the time I was 10 years old in brand new pickups. They work fine and it's part of the nostalgia.

if I want a pickup that's modern I'll drive my new Super Duty. but hey I Iike chevy's too I have a beautiful '77 K10 SWB with a saginaw pump on it so it's all good.

I have a Saginaw pump on my '75 F250. The pump came oe on a 76 LTD with a 460 and hydroboost brakes. I think ford used Saginaw pumps when more psi was needed for HD vehicles.
