I have a 1967 ford bronco, modified many times over before I purchased it last summer

I am having trouble identifying the power steering unit manufacturer. I need to know so I can get the correct kit to upgrade the steering column

My best guess is a Delphi power steering unit, mine has the 4 bolt pattern looking straight down with the center bolt slightly off center to the drivers side of the frame

On the web it appears that the vertical component can be on the passenger side or the drivers side of the frame

Does that make any difference when changing out the steering column for a new one?

Trying to add pics I took on my iphone but really struggling!!
Any help with that also appreciated!!

With a picture this could probably be answered in a heartbeat

Looks almost exactly like this:

Check WH website. That is wildhorses4x4.com
They have nice photos of nearly every style of power steering box.

Based on your description and the fact that it matches, or nearly matches, the photo you included, I'd say it's a Delphi unit.

Two main junkyard sources are '01½-'04 Nissan body on frame trucks and somewhere around '99 Jeep Grand Cherokee(? forget exact Jeep details). Jeep has a weird column input but the Ford pitman arm splines. You can mix and match the two. You can do 100% bolt on steering column with the correct Bronco upper (power steering with rag joint by the firewall), Mercury Villager minivan steering shaft, Nissan Titan (under dash) rag joint half. Just a tiny grind on a set of splines to match the new pinch bolt location.

They are also custom built by Delphi specifically for Broncos and sold through the various venders.

If your trying to order a steering column they want to know the steering box so they sent you the correct ujoint. Just measure the input shaft and count the splines on the box.
