Nothing yet, busy working on other problems that are keeping the truck off the road. I am also working on getting the 254 6 cylinder just down the road. I think I am going to pick it up this weekend. Great another project, out comes the 226 in goes the 254. With dual carbs,dual exhaust and an electronic ignition.

I doubt anyone makes a PS pump mount for this application, but a little creative engineering should be able to produce a suitable mount from various mounting brackets and adjusters. Be sure the belt contacts at least 1/3 of the pulley or more and the pump turns in the proper direction. I'd get the mount that was for the pump you choose and see what is needed to mount it to your engine with the pulleys lining up. Make sure it's sturdy and allows for tension adjustment a PS pump strains a lot at full steering lock. You'll also need to make sure the pulleys are for the same width belt.
A machine shop ought to be able to adapt the right width pulley to the pump.
