while the front end is blown apart, now would be the best time to add a steering box brace.
Here is a pix of the brace

here is a stock plate for the outside of firewall MC area with a stock manual brake rod = rod 7" long. you can get an adjustable rod from mancini. IIRC I made an alum plate used larger bolts bolting it to firerwall and then 2 bolts thru firewall to a alum 2 bolt MC = stock mc from vac brake bosster. IMHO I would use the alum 2 bolt MC over a cast iron MC. I weighed all of my delete and add ons shaving a full 200lbs off the nose of my 88-440truck going manual steer/manual brake/alum intake/alum wp housing/ mimi starter/mini alt/ heater box delete/weld rims weighs in under 3800lbs now with me in it.

Thanks for the reference, Scratchn' - appreciate it. The Mancini pushrods are apparently gold plated. But they do come with a retainer...
