A while back a customer had me install a P/S on his 57 Cameo. The kits are offered by several suppliers and use the 605 Saginaw box. The left shock mount is moved back so the shock fits on the backside of the axle(lower mount on U-bolt also moved to back), and a chevelle steering arm is used on the spindle. There is one existing hole in the frame used to hold the box in place while you drill the others. The fourth hole if used requires a small triange welded to the top of frame. You have to trim the inner fender for the intermediate shaft to fit from the steering column to the box. We cut the stock mast jacket(steering column tube) just below the shifter and fit an oilite bushing at the bottom. He wanted to retain the stock column and wheel. The front end had all been rebuilt so after we installed four degree caster shims to tip the king pins back it tracks perfectly straight down the road. 300 mph dragsters use straight axles so they can be made to run straight, it's just that a lot of caster makes steering too hard without the power assist. My prefferance is still the IFS because of the ride and stability. The above sounds involved but with the kit and the template supplied it's a one day job.
