No one I'm aware of has a 100% bolt-on solution available - Ugly Truckling used to offer parts/plans to adapt a Dodge/GM power-steering
box to the M37, but it's no longer available.

Snake River 4X4 Try here this will give you parts and information to do a power steering rebuild.

Yes it's been done and is not too hard to do. But it is not a simple bolt in job some fabrication is needed.

If you go to the Power Wagon Advertiser site there are several threads related to the power steering conversion. The easiest is to use a reverse rotation Saginaw box from a late 70's 3/4 ton dodge truck. The original idea was incorporated by Tim Peterson on his M in 1989. There is a how to article on this modification in the May issue (1989) of the magazine.
