ford 8n power steering.

Not that hard from where I am sitting. I would pick a side. From there, make the link on the side have a ram on it. Bend/weld new arms to the king pins or run them off of the bottom or the hub like a vehicle. Cross over drag link from 1 side to the other and run your pump. May lose a bit of radius because of the lack of the inner circle not as tight, but still not bad. Just like a solid axle pickup.

still need a pump and orbital valve.., or a nifty valve in cyl setup

The orbital valve for the steering is the way to go, eliminates any mechanical linkage from the steering wheel to the front wheels. Jackson Power Steering | Archive | Complete Steering Kits

I'd like to have a manual back up incase the old girl breaks down. If its 100% hydraulic it would be had to steer if I was towing it.

 

[Soundguy]

most orbital valves incorporate a pump so you can reposition the wheels without engine running.
.. like when towing. etc..

not easy.. but it works..

Ooo okay that would work. Has anyone had luck with a Jackson unit?
