Someone did.....Quaife.

Autoblech sells them for $295. Go here,

What I'd try first is to pull the power steering rack apart, and see if
there's any way of removing the pressure diaphragm thingie. (ya know, what
the pressurized fluid pushed against to assist steering, but what you have
to fight against when there is no pressure). After that it should be just
like a regular rack. Note the _should_....

Lemme know if it works. :-)
