As far as power steering brackets, look at 64-68 Chevelle's, 67/68 Camaros for brackets they used the short pump. That is what I used on my truck.
The only thing different that will need to be modified on the truck side is you temp gauge wiring might be the wrong length. 68 was the first year they put the temp sender in the side of head between the exhaust ports. On that motor, the sender goes in the intake near the thermostat housing.

That motor could well have been swapped in at some point in history.
You can see that someone put the temp sender in the top of the water pump.
Being from Montana it has some kind of block heater as well. Maybe an aftermarket?
This project will be down the road a ways so I'll start trying to source the correct brackets and pulleys as time allows.
Thanks for the helpful info...
