looks like CPP's 400 series box conversion for 55-59

I'm pretty sure it is a modified 85/91 Toyota 4x4 box. They cut the stock brackets that go on the sector shaft housing off and trimmed it down and used a custom fabbed mount bracket. I'm thinking that someone sells a kit for it.

I knew I had seen a kit that looked like that somewhere. http://www.classicperform.com/Store/...5559PSK-OC.htm

Power steering and it drops the steering box down to clear the manifold pretty well.

Not really, kinda all over road, probably go to mustang 2 and rack & pinion after driving it a few hundred miles and adjusting and re adjusting. The box is so close to the header it gets hotter than hell. I don't think I'll ever get it satisfactory with the straight axle, might as well fix it so it's enjoyable to drive. The PO installed the steering and front discs so I had to give it a try
