Fat fender Ford steering

Has anyone used a manual steering gear other than the original Ford or Vega. I have split wishbone and drop axle with stock gear that steers hard. I was wondering if some later manual gear would have better ratio that would make it turn easier.

Years ago, I used a Saginaw box from a 69 Olds Cutlass. Three of the 4 mounting holes fit the Old Ford frame and the pitman arm was the same length and correct vertical distance/angle. I may have done something with the hole in the arm that received the tierod end but can not remember. This box is almost like power steering in comparison to the original Ford box!!
