I doubt they are as the 55-57 cars had independent suspension and the trucks had solid axles. Don't think the 55-59 trucks came with a power steering option but not positive.

"gear box"?
the TF power steering consists of a pump on the back of the generator, a control valve in place of the drag link, and a'power cylinder' - otherwise the 'gear' is the same as non-power - the car has a totally different suspension/steering, but the pump on the generator's no doubt the same, so no ... can't swap car power steering into a truck
