Saginaw pump mount, with a twist.

Was watching an older YouTube video of an fj45, and noticed this the Saginaw pump mounted high on the passenger side, does anyone know what mount this is?

maybe an overseas 2F power steering pump mount???
as that is where the PS pump mounts in overseas 2F's

My 1968, was modified by the previous owner with a Saginaw system, with the pump high on the passenger side. And the alternator was on the drivers side. I’m pretty sure he completed this mod in the mid to late 70’s. I relocated to the PS pump to the drivers side adapting the pump to a smog pump mount. I relocated the alternator back to the passenger side using the Vintage Air AC bracket. My relocation was done during restoration in 2017.

I’m pretty sure he mounted the PS pump using a modified alternator bracket. The steeping box was mounted to a home made plate welded to the frame and the pitman arm was a Chevy part welded to a Toyota part. It was pretty sketchy…..

I’m sure that in the 70’s there wasn’t an abundance of mounting kits…..but an awful lot of write ups in Off Road and 4 WD magazines…it was a ‘home made’ endeavor at best.
