I would definitely keep that old box. Never know when you might need to replace an internal part on that good one you have. If there's one thing I've learned in all my years of living with an old car/truck problem, it's- Never throw anything away!
I agree that power steering is more trouble than it's worth. Don't know why people think they have to take a nice simple old truck and complicate it with a bunch of add-on power crap. For the record, my 62 year old wife has no trouble driving my truck, or her 65 V8 Mustang with manual steering, and she is not a big woman. Just saying...
