Hi Leon.
I had to skip much of this thread, and hope nobody else has suggested
this. I've a '53 3/4 ton. When I bought it the steering wheel had more
than 180 degrees free play. Once that was tightened down as far as
possible ( it still has some 20: free play ) I found the Bias Ply tires
were the next thing. Prior to going to steel belted if a front tire were
to hit a 1" rock that wheel would bounce right or left. The other front
wheel would not. My thought was that there were split beads in the tires
( if that is possible ) but as replacing them resolved the issue I did
not go any further.
Hope this helps a bit.
