Steering Swap

I have a 75' highboy with ram assisted steeering, worn slam out. I have a 79' F-250 4x4 dana 44, donor truck that has better power steering. Has anyone ever done a swap like this before and if so then what do i need to know?

I have a complete ram set up from a 76/77 4x4 truck if you need any pieces. The steel lines are no good but I have everything else from the pump and brackets to the ram and brackets.
