Are you racing the car? You really shouldn't need a power steering cooler for street use. As far as I know they don't make any specific. If you need something I've seen people add small transmission coolers.

im not racing the car.. just thought it be a cool feature.. i saw my brother put one on his 63 comet convertible just because he had one but he some how custom made it with a bracket near the actual pump, and i thought it be just an extra thing i could put. i can maybe try a small tranny cooler ive seen that too.. only reason also because one day after driving the for a long time i did notice when i parked the top lid of the the pump itself was wet like maybe it has seeped going up to the cap and just maybe boiled out.. not sure i dont know much about power steering maybe i had too much fluid i dunno u guys think i dont really need a p/s cooler?

you can use a heater core if you really want one, should be pretty easy.

Lots of Ford cars had power steering coolers, especially larger cars, station wagons, or cars that might be expected to pull trailers. My Explorer has a big one.
