Column Shift Electric PS Options

Hey guys, looking to install power steering on my 71 with the original 360. I've been looking into electric options, but the ones I've come across require floor shift. Any options out there for column shift?

Based on how they attach, I do not think so are on 2 wheel drive trucks.

Power steering

Mustangs and later Fords have an electric powered rack. If you change your truck to front steer you could then have power steering. That way your column will remain intact.

I've never done it but I see the Toyota Prius unit used sometimes. It requires the column to be cut to make room for the electric assist. Some people put it under the dash, others under the hood.
