Mid Fifty and others sell several different PS systems to add to your truck. The Toyota truck PS box is the easiest, least expensive, most popular, highly recommended. Other options are ram assist, GM box. Prices depend on if your donor parts are new/rebuilt/used, and how difficult adapting a PS pump to your engine is. Expect to pay between 300.-1000.00 if you DIY.

I installed a bendex p/s setup.Bolted right on with no modifications.Make sure you install a cooler on it.My truck is not a daily driver and the bendex setup is prone to failures.I think the setup was used on the 67-69 trucks.Make sure you get the setup from a fe truck if you have a fe truck.Get all of the brackets and pulleys also.You can also adapt a frod setup from trucks all of the way up to 1978 but the column may have to be modified.Do a search,this topic had been gone over many times here.Good luck.
