Thanks, I saw that. There is a 1953 FoMoCo power steering assembly - for parts only - on ebay now.

I put a new Borgeson Saginaw 525 steering box with a 25-1 ratio in my 36 pickup. No pulley, no belt, no hoses and no fluid. It steers effortlessly. The total cost was less than $600.

Make sure all the pieces are there if you want to rebuild that unit. Some pieces are not available and you may look a long time to find them. Check into the mid 60's Ford power steering units as they may work on your car. As I recall they are very similar to the early units.
