Default Steering Gear Assembly...911 on a Sunday night.

So I was playing around under the gmc tonight and noticed a stress crack in the steering gear assembly! The top bolt arm looks like it sheered pretty much completely from top to bottom. And here I thought she was indestructible! Hoping someone can recommend options:
1) replacement Saginaw? Where to find? I’ve seen some various sites online that sell the 525 gear....just not certain of the fit to this model truck? ‘65 3/4 ton 4X4
2) I had been thinking of upgrading to power steering... and this seems like the right time. Can anyone recommend a good place to start for a conversion kit? Any horror stories or pitfalls I should be aware of with the 4X4?
Thanks so much in advance for any advice!
