Welcome back...
Re your power steering. You need to find an FJ/BJ40 LX that's being broken (standard on them) but they're rare to find without a restorer attached so an alternative is to consider the Honda Civic system which is electronic and turns/assists the column. Although they are coded the gubbins can be re-done for about £15, at least that was the price about 2 years ago. Can put you in touch with a mate who has had it done, if it helps.
40s rule!
