The 54 Chevy truck has a solid front axle, so replacing the steering with a R&P unit is going to be difficult without inducing bump steer. The only way this is possible is to attach the R&P unit directly to the axle, but then you have the problem of providing a flexible steering shaft from the steering shaft to the unit. It also greatly increases unsprung weight which adversley affects handling and ride.
Of course, you could install a Unsteer R&P unit to replace your steering box, but this is not something you are going to find in a salvage yard. I have never heard of anyone building a Unisteer type unit from a salvage yard R&P, but I suppose it is possible if you have the machining capabilities.
