Highboy steering upgrade

I have got a 1974 F250 highboy with the trash power assist steering. What is the best option for upgrading the steering? I know there are a couple different options and I realize I need a steering box. Which one should I get?

The truck will be driven on the road a good bit, probaby be running 37-40 inch tires and will see some offroad use during hunting season. Just want something thats dependable and safe.

Thanks

one way which will require modifiing the frame by cutting and welding a plate in, i have done it it isnt that hard but you will probably have to remove the motor to do it. it requires a 79 f250 4x4 steering box. i know there are other ways to do it but this is how i did mine..
