Thanks for the correction Steve. You are right, I was thinking of the pump but that isn't what i typed, and of course no one can read my mind. I do a lot more reading than posting.

BTW, I appreciate all of the tech links that you have taken the time to create, organize, and post as applicable when help is needed. I think that I've probably read thru a couple of hundred of the at least. Thank you Sir!

So i cant find one of the brackets to save my life. I have checked the few local junk yards and they dont have any of the vans there i need. Can someone please point me in the right direction. If possible any of you know where i can get one and pay for it to be shipped?

This guy always has an ad on the local craigslist. I've never spoken to him but you could try asking if he would ship.

@Crewdog85 I had to scour car-part.com to find a salvage yard that had a E150 van with the bracket. I called ahead to verify before making the trip.

Sorry about that im new to the whole posting on threads and forums. I have a 1996 f150 5.0 4x4. I believe i found one in a junk yard that matched up the part number f4uz3c511a which i believe is what i need. They are shipping it to me and should be here in the next couple of days. Hopefully the right one. Thanks everyone for the help.

As this thread progresses or in your next one, we'll still need to know all those details. And we're not going to remember if/where you posted it - it needs to appear automatically under EACH of your posts.

So i believe i made a signature to help with future post and thanks for the helpful info. I got so desperate that i actually bought 2 brackets and pumps. i have one in hand and one being delivered this Thursday.

Today was the day my son and I got to do the Saginaw pump conversion on this truck. This old truck has been leaking power steering fluid and whining loudly for the 2 years that I have owned it. I gathered the parts several weeks ago: '95 E-150 bracket / pump / pulley from the jy, and from Rock Auto a re-manufactured AC/Delco pump, a new '95 E-150 pressure hose, and a new '92 F-150 return hose.

I put a lot of unnecessary time into this project as I spent an hour or so cleaning the grime from around / under the old pump. I also spent 3 days cleaning / sanding / polishing the bracket just because I like clean & shiny (more effort than it was worth). The jy pulley and all bolts received a good cleaning and a few coats of black paint.

We used the new hoses, the re-manufactured pump, and the polished jy bracket. We left the original steering box for now to see how much difference the pump itself makes. The van hose required a few minor adjustment bends to get it lined up and clearing the belt path but was just a few minutes work to install. It took longer to get the hose threads started into the steering box. All in all a factory fit using factory parts for this upgrade.

When we fired it up for the first time we immediately noticed how quiet it was. No more whine. I sounds like a different truck. Next we went for a drive, the steering effort feels just like driving a big GM boat from the 80's, no effort at all to turn the wheel. The steering feels much tighter and a lot less wandering on the road at both highway speed and around town. Worthwhile upgrade. This has been the best money / time spent on this old truck by far.

I assume this swap can be done on an 87-91 5.0 also? Same e150 bracket?
