Has anyone done this before? Any info would appreciated. Thanks

Good luck with the search.

The non power steering would not be a big deal with me personnally but I am restoring the truck for my 80 year old father in law who lives in Las Vegas. So a power steering unit would be nice along with AC, Automatic, etc.

They do a lot of these conversions and also sell the parts. I installed a Toyota unit in my 56 and have done other TF trucks and Fords but not sure what will work in a 38.
