I HAVE A 56 COUNTRY SEDAN,351W AOD TRANS WITH MANUAL STEERING.. LOOKED ON HAMB AND THE LAST POST WAS ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO  SURELY THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE OUT THERE ...

Try over at the Ford Barn, and see if Jeff steers you to something in the group there. The HAMB and even the Barn aren’t quite as relaxed as we are, so take the “caps lock” off your message.

You need to join and do an intro to get to the right social groups I believe. A search alone won’t turn up what your looking for.

There’s a lot of those out there, you’ll find something.

There should be lots of info out there. Borgeson makes a integrated PS box especially for the '52-'56 fords. Bolts right up to the frame and uses the stock pitman arm. You will have to cut or replace your steering column. I see many good reviews.

If you shop around you can beat these prices, but this shows you the possibilities.

Here are a some links to past threads regarding power steering conversions on the older Fords.

I did the Borgeson conversion on my '57 Ranchwagon and it drives so good you wouldn't know it was an older car.    It is important to use modern front end alignment specifications, including more camber to get that modern car stability.

I was impressed with how well is worked and simple it was to do. I retained the stock column shifter and mated it to an AOD and it works well.

I have new in the box  a  Borgeson PS unit set up for my old 53 Victoria, I have since sold the car and my 56 Merc has PS. The unit is set up for flathead, but will 52 to 56 only difference is mounting bracket for the pump I would sell for $800.
