Robert,
I'd bet your truck orginally came w/ the "Power Wagon" designation. Reason I say that is the pictures you posted, show a pre-69 fender dressing that says "Dodge" then the "200" under it. This fender emblem and the front grill are contrary to the looks of the hood on your truck. Have you changed the hood? Usually the Power Wagon emblems were along the side of the hood. There are examples that are posted all around. I would guess you probably have a VIN number for your truck? Use the decoder on the links below to determine a ton of information. A couple of good sources to use for history are the following:

http://www.dodgesweptline.org/
Forum on both of these specialize on the sweptline body styles.
As for the power steering, most will steer you toward ProtoTech, and their products have always been spoke highly of. Others have advised me that a front end from a Dodge donor truck '80 - '84 is also a good match...power steering & disc brakes...depends on budget, expertise, and time. see link for my Crew Cab
