I will take lots of pics and hopefully we can work this out.

Have you checked the grease level in the steering box? When I first got my 55 pickup it was really hard to steer. When I pulled the fill plug on the box and shined it a light it looked pretty dry. I added quite a bit of corn head grease and it made a major difference. Tire air pressure is also important.
