Default 47 Steering Question ??

SHEBA My 47 tudor is a little hard to steer @ slow speed I know its Me and not her. ( things are just a little harder each month)I want to convert to power steering I think I want to go with a GM conversion,
It has been talked about here before and I tried to find the thread But must be asking the wrong questions.

What Gear box do I want Where are the #'s on the box?
I took One out of a early 70's GMC 1/2 ton van.
Is it possible it may be correct to do this conversion ?

I found the Frame adapter to except the GM box as a direct bolt in.
What other mounting Hardware / brackets & where do I get the other them
The engine is a 8CM with wide a wide belts.

In the mean while Before I convert I want to drain the steering box and fill with J D Corn head grease.
Where are the drain & fill plugs located ?

THANKS

To drain the box lessen the 4 bolts were the horn wire exits.IT may take some time if 600 w
I just rebuild my 47 box and there isn't much room for power steering.
I would grease it check for loose king pins. tire pressure aliment.
