An odd steering pump bracket??
Be nice guys- I'm 'fixing' a 79 F250 4x4 that's been poorly 'cusomized' for lack of a better term... she's got a 460 (VIN shows it was built w/ a 400- probably not important), and currently has a butchered PS pump bracket that was poorly modiflied to clear the PS box. I've been to the boneyards 3x to find a different (the correct one) PS bracket that will allow the PS pump to clear the steering box (which on this truck is WAY out on the very end of the top side of the frame rail). One of two things is my problem.. either the steering box has been moved out to where it does not truly belong, or the PS bracket I seek is so rare in this truck that my wrecking yards simply don't have it.. any ideas? As always, thanks for your insight..

Hey Broken40- are they unusual? Maybe a 78/79 250 4X PS pump bracket is a one-off thing? Either that, or my steering box has been moved forward (unlikely), or my PS pump has the wrong pulley (mine is 5 1/2" diameter). Not sure without another truck to compare it to.. Would you be interested in selling one of your brackets-- please PM me if you'd like- thanks!
