I don't know that the 78 GMC box will work for you or not.
Here are some pictures of one still in the original truck:

I only used it because it was handy, (left over from a truck I scrapped) fit reasonably well, and was about the right size/strength for the job.
If you think one will work then go look in the junk yards, they are plentiful, as all the steering gear boxes from at least 78 into the 90's look about the same (later ones are metric).
I would not buy a new one until you had a used one in hand to be sure it will fit your application.
In short, go shopping at the junk yard for a medium duty truck power steering gear box....
