56 Pickup Power steering info

[Tinbasher]

Does anyone have the Ford service sheets for the "Power Steering" installation on a 56 Pickup. Diagrams would be good also so I'll know if I have all of the pieces. Thanks John Poole

I don't have that period TRUCK MPC and have Googled but I can't come across a diagram.

Maybe lay the new stuff under the truck and compare?

According to my '56 truck shop manual, power steering was not available on the smaller series trucks. It was standard equipment on the T-700/T-750/T-800 trucks , optional on B-750, and C/F-750, 800 and 900.

Can I ask the method of power assist (I assume hydraulic), box or assist cylinder?
