My '56 GMC model 150 was very hard to steer when I bought it. Turned out one kingpin was almost frozen. A rubber mallet would not move the steering knuckle. New kingpin kits installed by a machine shop with an arbor press made steering much easier. My two cents.

Well, my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' 55.
As I pulled away slowly,
Feelin' so holy,
God knows, I was feelin' alive..... Tom Waits, Ol' 55
