Manual to Power Steering Convert 1966 F100

[mtb2liv]

Hey gang,

I've been off the boards for a few months but getting back involved again (missed it).

Got a question for the experts here -

I have a '66 F100 with manual steering (floor shifted) and the 240 engine.

I want to convert this to power steering with what would be stock (reman) parts (pump and bracket, box and hoses).

I do not want to swap the column.

What box do I need (I understand there are two types out there) and where can I source them rebuilt?

You need the bendix box. They are hard to find and would benefit from an inline cooler since they tend to get hot. Check out the www.fordification.com website. Its oriented to the bumpsides but everything applies to the 65/66 as well.

You need both the Bendix box and the earlier pump. I have a buildable box but cost of rebuilding is in the 500$ range.

That's the info I needed...thanks so much, fellas and wish me luck - assisted steering is in my very near future.
