Here's some really helpful info. Be sure to scroll to bottom of page. I just did this conversion last month on my '72. Everything depends on what type of steering you want. I wanted a short draglink to the curved steering arm on drivers side because of leaf springs. http://bcbroncos.com/techtips1.html I used a power steering box off of a '79 bronco and the left handed steering gear/rack from an '87 E350. This is the slickest trick I've ever seen.

Here's another one where the pitman arm passes between the frame and leaf spring. I was not able to use this because my 460 is so wide the power steering pump was in direct conflict with the steering gearbox because it mounts inside of the frame. The previous post references the '79 4x4 gearbox which mounts outside the frame. Sorry just realized you did not mention it was a 4x4. This could change everything, the 2x4 steers from behind the front axle not in front.
