I don't know about 4x4's in particular, but I do know that the early Ford had a pretty screwy P/S setup around that time in general for cars and trucks. Try looking for a P/S setup out of a '73-'79. I know on a 2wd it's direct bolt in swap, and simpler setup in general than the factory setup for your '70.

Thanks Trail Rider, I have found a 79 F100 4x4 power steering box that will work on my 71 F100 4x4 as a conversion. I will have to send it to a shop in Scottsdale AZ. to have the sector shaft reversed and the rest rebuilt while its there. thanks again for the help.

use of an f100 ps gear requires drilling a hole in the frame and also fabricating a
bracket to support the gear. there are other alternatives. jeff's bronco grave yard
has other pumps and gears to look at. they are online and easy to work with.
