Power Steering Problem

My dads' 79 Ford F-150 w/351M, the power steering pump is shooting out fluid through the cap, i swapped the gear box thinking it might be that then my dad swap'd a couple other power steering pumps and this one we have on now is good, thinkin about it, they all were good (power steering pump) but doing all the same thing...shooting out fluid. Do you guys know what might be the problem?

Sounds like a blocked or restricted pipe. There are really only three elements to a power steering system, you have replaced two with no difference so I would replace the third, namely the high and low pressure pipes.Worth a try. Good luck.
