welcome.
go to your local wreckers and search for a MX32 or MX62 they have a power steering box that will be similar to your existing steering box. i have measured these to go into celicas and they are VERY similar but unconfirmed if they are an EXACT fit.
what engine are you running?
if its an 18R-C then you will have to find a power steering pump and fabricate a bracket to mount somewhere and integrade the belt. then go to pirtec and get some lines made.

The other options is rack and pinion which is pricie but I would also be interested if anyone can tell us what power steering boxes can go in the early toyotas.

Steering boxes have the advantage (and I daresay their ONLY advantage!) of being able to to swapped around etc. without upsetting steering geometry PROVIDED you don't screw with the drag link etc. in any kind of nasty way, therefore if a little adaptation is required, then it's not really a problem
