Thanks to everyone, I purchased a 54 WITH power steering.

Here's what it looks like :

I bought the unit on ebay. Just came out of a 10 day stay in the hospital. The seller says that the unit came out of a running car and is totally functionable. They are changing the car to a resto-mod. I need to put this on my '53 ford.

Based on the pictures, It appears to have the correct end plate the mounts on the passenger side of the frame, so you should be good to go.

Good chance you will have to replace the seals in the valve body. This might offer a little insight:

Bottom line, let me know if I can answer any questions during the installation.

Once installed, you will be very happy with the unit, I know I am and have been for 10 years now.
