1968 F100 Advice needed

Hello all.  I recently purchased a 1968 F100.  It has a 360FE and 4 speed manual trans and is 4WD.  It is all original and the past two owners believed that the odometer has not gone around, and is currently at 48,500 miles.  It got some type of paint done in the early 90's and had less than 2,500 miles put on it in the last 15-20 years.  Looks like everything is stock and original except for the wheels, headers, running boards, and tool box.  
Now for the real questions.  I'm looking to put in power steering and power brakes.  I don't want to change the steering column and I cannot find a stock replacement in the local auto yards.  I've heard of Toyota replacements, but cannot find one for my year.  As for the brakes, a bolt on kit with a master cylinder that attaches to the stock pedal would be the best.  
Shipping would be interesting to tackle because I live in alaska.
Any suggestions would help a bunch.  Thank you.

(I'll post some pics once I figure out how)
