Nemo there is a guy here in Tx. that sells the original type kits for power steering but can`t remember his name or e-mail address. Maybe one of the other guys will have this info. I believe his name is Steve and i`m not sure but i`m thinking his last name is Pratt.

Nemo,
Classic Chevy International sells a kit that does just what you are looking for. The kit comes with the hoses, pump, brackets, and the pump pulley. This setup will also let you use an alternator. I used this setup before switching to a different box. When you eventually do decide to switch to an updated box ( 605,570,CPP, or Concept one) you are going to have to convert your linkage down below to a manual steering setup. Found all this out the hard way

Hope this info helps.
Jerry
