I think you're going to have to provide a little more details on what you are experiencing?

Is it play in the steering? Is it the truck swaying back and forth while the wheel is still?

A few more details please.

It could be a couple things.

1. Rag joint in the steering linkage.
2. Worn out steering gear box
3. worn out tie rod ends

possibly more..
