70 F100 steering

I have read some of the other posts about Saginaw power steering pumps, my truck has the Ford pump, I want to upgrade to the Saginaw unit. Do I just need to purchase the pump off eBay with the brackets, or would an Econoline or later unit be the better choice out of a salvage yards? I hope this isn't too repetitive of a question, I'm just trying to find the right combination.

I see that Econoline vans have the Saginaw pump, what are the best years to Pick? I also have a 77 F100 that I found with all the parts.. Mine already has power steering, but the previous owner hacked the system up........bad.

As long as you get the right bracket for the engine. Ford used Saginaw PS unites from about 69 and up so the PS pump should work from the 77.

Thanks, I am going to pull the unit off of the 77 this week. You aren't kidding about the correct bracket, I have had 2, both did not fit my truck.
