Know this is a regular question but cant find the thread. I badly need a powersteering in my F250 Twin I-Beam -66, but dont know the parts to look after.

Here's a good tutorial on a power steering swap for '67-'72 trucks ('66 would be the same).

Here's how to modify the steering column.

Powersteering is very uncommon on these vehicles. It probably suffers from worn kingpins and bushings. This will make the steering much more difficult.

Easy. You need:
'70 - '79 PS gearbox with pitman arm and lines
Brackets and pulleys to fit the engine and PS pump. (You can use any PS pump from '70 - '86 if the brackets and pulleys fit the engine. There are several types of external pump design, so you have to get the right brackets and pulleys.)
Shortened ''65/'66 steering column or a '68 - 72 column (A '73 - '79 steering column can be made to fit too with a little more work).
