Does or will your truck have headers? One of the stock PS mounting brackets often needs some modifications to work with headers.

Is a conversion to a serpentine belt system anywhere in your plans? If so, now would be a good time as that will include most of the pulleys and mounting brackets.
The frame is going to be used for a frame swap for a 58 Apache short bed. The steering column is a CPP column so I can buy what I need to hook up to the steering box itself. Yes the truck has headers I believe they're long tube headers but I have other headers I could switch out to make it easier.

I will not be running a serpentine belt will be sticking to the V belt. The motor I current have already has a power steering pump just wasn't sure what I needed from the gear box on.
