I agree with the above comments. Additionally, check the steering box for lubricant it may have leaked out.
I have a WC53 like you except mine has a V8. The steering was so bad when I got it I could hardly go down the road at 25 MPH. These things are old and parts are worn out. I would suggest that you rebuild the entire steering system. I did and it drives really nice now (like 70 MPH down the freeway with no wondering or shaking at all). I replaced all tie rod ends, king pin bearings, drag link cups and springs, spring pins and bushings, steering arm and the pitman arm. I only had to flush and adjust the steering box.
