power steering pump upgrade

has anyone here or know of anyone who has ditched these crappy plastic pumps (i think they are called something like OTC11 or TC11 or something like that) and swapped in an old canned ham (saginaw pump)? i have used sag pumps for years on my bronco and on my old F250 with great success! i've run one dry (literally) before and it still pumped better than whats on my PSD now! i have a pile of pumps so getting the bracket and pulley will be my biggest challenge.

I'm sure it can be done. Are you having problems steering?

The reseal kits for those things are cheap and they're easy to fix if you have a pulley puller. Those pumps have been used on tons of vehicles and you can get them in the boneyard for like $10.
