I used a toyota crown/cressida box on mine
worked well and has been proven on a few that I know of.
have heard of hilux and 70 and 60 series ones being used too
may have something lying around in shed, have to check

lots of options, depending what your skill level is.
Armstrong is by far the cheapest option tho
you could do the hilux powersteer box mounted on your original steering box mount and retain the push pull setup with idler or go to a surf box and go cross over steer, or 70 series box or 60 series box or as skid mentioned the cressida box... lots of options.
try searching ORE and you will find a lot of info on many set ups

I've got a 60 series one in mine. Theres are a few ways to do it - but I transplanted the whole lot including the steering column. It still needs a few "adjustments". The box bolts onto the chassis rail where the shock mount sits so that needs to be removed. A common fix is to use Ford F250 shock mounts which bolt on the side of the chassis rail instead of the top. I used the 60 series mounts and bottom spring plate so I could then use the 60 series shocks as well - just saving cash since I had a whole FJ60 to get parts from. I was lucky - the FJ60 had a 2F motor so the pump bracket just bolted up to mine. I'm really pleased with how well it all works.
