Both sides of the coin have been addressed. If the truck is as built and everything is in good order you may want to talk to some old timers how driving techniques. If the truck is rolling it will be much easier to turn for instance. If the front end is loose power steering will only make the truck harder to drive. Sometimes slowing down will make it easier to handle without power steering. All being said Steve has some fair points as so our bodies getting older and some of these added issues will allow us to drive with ease for more years. Just make sure things are safe.
