I used a universal rack from Flaming River on my 62. It is a mustang II style rack. One note, get the Ford power steering pump in the GM body from them also. If you go with a normal GM pump which has a much higher pressure and flow rate, you will end up with a hyper sensitive steering system. We cut the bow shape off of the front of the cross member, split a drive shaft and welded it into the cross member, then mounted the rack.
