The head light is a relay kit, relays & wiring, that you can get from any of the on line truck parts places or Ebay.
I got my kit years ago from LMC for a different project, a car, and when my truck came along I used the kit on it.

The ALT I am not sure as I have not looked into it as I dont have the need for anything more then factory out put.
Dont know if there is any one place to get everything to do this?

Power steering box upgrade would be Blue Top or Red Head boxes.
I run a Blue Top and love it.

Yes it would be the Saginaw power steering pump from a van but I dont know if that holds true for the v8 motors as I thought is was only for the 300 six vans?
I run the Saginaw pump on my 81 F100 with a 300 six as that was the pump on the truck when I bought it.
