Is there any kind of power steering booster or retro-fit unit for my 65 F-100? The armstrong steering is getting a bit hard for this 65 year old.

I have a 1965 short bed step side F-100. It has a 302 V8 in it.

Bill I don't have a twin I truck but I can give you some idea.
the twin I's were mostly power steering after 1972, but some before had what is called a "Bendix" power steering box at the end of the steering column. If you find or buy rebuilt a good Bendix box then you can use your stock steering column
Other trucks, especially the later ones, use a "Saginaw" steering box on their power steering, which requires an approx 2" shorter steering column to work in your truck.
Plus you need the power steering pump, hoses and brackets appropriate for your truck's engine.
But the short answer to your question is "Yes"
