Welcome.
Please hit the F A Q <---- this is a link and read away.
Not only is there information specific to this question concerning the things that will need to be addressed when doing this style of power steering conversion with the earlier 40 series, but there is a lot of other information you may find interesting, along with links to other areas of the ‘mud board that have technical write ups or information....like:
Technical links <---- this is a link that can be found at the very top of the page….this contains links to modifications that others have performed over the years, along with wiring diagrams and other information.
Along with,
Tech Trivia<---- this is a link which contains specific technical information on different things with the Land Cruiser.

I do not think that fully addresses the issue that cooper is talking about there Wildman....
The early 40 series has a steering column that is integrated with the steering gear on the frame, so in order to mate this column up to a later steering gear a rag joint will need to be welded to the modified and shortened original steering shaft, or a splined coupler (borgeson)will need to be installed on the steering shaft, similar to what others have posted up about using out here.....as in the thread you started on 16 FEB 07. <---- this is a link
It is not as simple ‘bolt on” conversion as it is sold, especially on the earlier trucks.

Thanks Poser that was useful. That looks like a nice setup. I found a 69 that is all original except a rodchester carb. I would like to put alittle bigger tires and PS. Other than that I am going to go through it replaceing all bushings, seals ect.. It has 108000 original miles, and is in good shape from what I looked at around here. Everything works, with very little rust. I'll try to get some pics to put on here so you all can give me your opinion.
Tex...love the Shiner Bock cap. I am enjoying some of the nectar right now...and I live in Iowa!

And yes, you can do it with the older style column...
