I can't help with the Power steering, but this is the cleanest Power Brake install ever and it's REALLY cheap
It's a 1985 Ford Mustang unit from a Pick & Pull, mounted on the firewall of a 1954 Ford. The later/bigger
engine is of no consequence. "Almost" a bolt in.
And, you get the dual chamber Master all in one. If you want to spend a few more bucks, you could replace the Master with one that reversed the outlet ports

A little unconventional but it works real nice, the mustang guys have been doing it for a few years

Back to your OP. There's no cheap way with stock parts. You might go look over on the Ford Barn, or the HAMB. There's usually someone using later model ford parts, especially for brakes, and IIRC, even some Toyota truck boxes on early post war fords.

I have everything for both setups from a 1956 T Bird which may be the same as car, not sure, but as others mentioned, I am not giving it away, they print money everyday, they don't make these parts anymore and there is a big demand for them, more demand less parts equals more money.  look at the price of like the 06 GT40's, they sold for like $140,000 new and now are selling for double that ten years later, more demand for them than they made equals an increase in value!

Because Fords of that era are not power boxes, but piston linkage type power steering, that requires several parts, finding all the pieces needed in decent shape & likely having to have some of the parts recondishened, is enough of a challenge, let alone finding them cheap. And converting to a power brake setup, stock style or aftermarked can get involved involved also, & may also be difficult to do on the cheap..  Good luck with that...

what do ou want for the power steering unit?  fjfreewind@hotmail.com

I'm looking for cheap options. Parts of other cars that can found cheap or reasonable new and can be modified to fit etc.

I have a complete power steering set up for 55,56 Ford for sale but it is not going to be cheap   Carl

Gonna be picking up a 55 fairlane with a 292 and 3 speed. Car runs and shifts fine. I'd like to add power brakes and steering. Anyone have a full parts list of what fits? This is a budget build. Cheaper the better. Thanks, Jared
