If your truck never came with P/S, you will not have a P/S pump on your engine. as DieselSJ said, you will also need the crank shaft pulleys off of a truck with P/S to accommodate the extra v-belt you need to drive your P/S pump. In my area, there seemed to be more trucks with 6 cylinders in the mid 70's than the mid 80's. You could use one of these as a "donor". Like I said earlier, they are no where near a common as a truck with a small block V8, but still a few around. Another factor is a lot of the trucks with 6 cylinders were "plain jane's".....and never came with P/S or P/B. I had a 74 and a 76.
I ended up converting both to V-8's , and installed P/S at that time.
