Power steering conversion

[TEABYRD]

Looking to convert my 1956 from manual to power steering. This old body can't fight the wheel anymore. Who makes the best kits and are there any rack and pinion options available? Any information would be welcome and greatly appreciated. Thank you

I am also considering making this modification to my 55 TBird. Solutions range from using stock parts, replacing the steering box and or column, electric conversions to installing rack and pinion. A friend of mine has a large range of stock power steering parts taken off Ford passenger cars. I do not know if passenger car parts will fit my TBird? If so, the price is right. I do not wish to cut my car or do anything that is not reversible. My car drives fine. I have custom wheels and larger than stock tires. This makes slow speed steering difficult. I am also concerned with resale value. I am sure my car would be worth more with power steering.

I have not had much luck obtaining information like this on this forum. I'm not sure why.
