steering upgrade

the next big project on my '49 is a steering upgrade. I still have the stock steering spaced out to clear a V8. Im thinking of using an 68 - 76 toyota pickup steering box and mounting it forward on the top of the frame rail close to the radiator. i know that will require remounting the shocks, but in thinking that should give me clearance at the back of the left head. I do have a 3" dropped axle with disc brakes. This should allow me to use a horizontal drag link.
So, has anyone done this conversion and did you use power or manual steering?
Thanks.
