Sounds like you better head to your local auto graveyard! There are lots of older trucks with the FE engine with power steering. Before you go you might want to check what your engine pulleys look like too. You may need an extra groove in the crank and water pump pulleys too, so you can grab them at the same time. You'll also end up with a better PS pump going with one of the older units.

have fun fitting in an FE motor into a 80s truck.. there isn't any brackets you can put in to make the motor fit.
