toyota power steering in a f600?

Has anybody done a toyota steering box on any of the bigger trucks ( f250-600 ) I would like to put one on my 56 f600. My ford manual states that the steering boxes are the same on the f250 thru f600 and they bolt up just like the f100 ..... any thoughts?

I found out that the sector shaft arm on the f600 is 1in longer than on the f100 but the actual size of the steering boxes are the same

What Ford manual says the steering gearboxes are the same F250/F600?

The parts catalog doesn't say that.

B6C-3504-A .. F100/F250

B6Y-3504-A .. F350/F500/F600

The Pitman Arms, steering box cases and sector shafts mimic the gearboxes.

I doubt the Toyota gearbox will have enough torque to turn the wheels of a F600.
