Bad Luck-p/s pulley

After taking a month to put on my exhaust kit (which sounds AWESOME) i take the truck for a drive to the store. When I come out to pull away I have no power steering at all. pop the hood and the pulley is off and cracked. so i have to replace it and can't find the part anywhere. I want a new one cuz one in a junkyard is not gonnna be in any better condition than the one i have on there. any suggestions? are bronco pulleys interchangable?

I would find one in a junkyard, it's rare for them to crack. You will need a special puller to get it off.

Make sure it fits the width of belt you are running too. I've had to deal with replacing pulley's before.
