Ok, I am no expert on 40's, but for power steering there are two options that I am aware of (and a whole S%$tload that I'm not
)
1. Toyota Surf IFS steering box with a custom draglink to a flipped toyota steering arm... see here, then ask Wopass about his setup:

2. replace the manual steering box with a Hilux ute power steering one using one of the many available brackets and just use the existing steering setup - probably not quite as tidy, but just as functional.
