power steering is easy, bronco only,anything else is work and mods.
Power steering pump, any saginaw from a GM, mounting bracket from dusty or chucks.
HB, I am biased on this, mid 70's big Ford or mid 70's DIESEL GM pickup. bolt ins and no real mods.. to speak of.

I used late seventies Lincoln Mark parts for the brake conversion. Grab the master cylinder, booster, pump, front calipers, and the complete rear disk assemblies. This will net you a matched system with lots of stopping power.
For power steering I like the 4x4x2 PS box as it is stouter, more powerful and cheaper than the stock Bronco box and it mounts in the stock position. (see BC Bronco's). I have been using the F150 2wd box for 15+ years and it works very well, its longer sector shaft is good at reducing bump steer on lifted Boncos, they are very very common and have plenty of power. The down side is they mount inside the frame and hang down further which bugs the rock crawlers but since I don't do that it has never been a problem.

I dont need to worry about the disc brakes. I have a d60 for the rear and a d44 for the front sitting in my garage. they already have disc brakes. Im just waiting to put them in until i have all of the parts to do it at once.

x2 on the Ford hydroboost. Grabbed mine from an '84 Lincoln & works like a champ! Bolted it directly to the firewal w/ a couple new holes drilled. You'll have to extend the pushrod to mate to your brake pedal but that's about it...
