You can easily put a hydroboost system in and get power behind the original brakes with a dual master cylinder. An aftermarket ram assist steering is available or find one off of another truck. Put a NV4500 trans behind the Cummins. I believe that it is a divorced transfer case so you can build a jack shaft with the ends you need. I do not know if it is possible to fab mounts on the front axle for disk brakes or not. I do not know if other gear ratios are available for the axle. Knowing my luck they would be in the wrong ratios to lower rpms
The W500 that I posted that is for sale for $1500 obo has ram assist steering.
