You just took a time trip to the 1930s! All cars of that era steer like Mack trucks, especially when you're used to modern power steering. You will hear things about putting F-100 steering boxes in place of the original, Anything to modernize the steering! The cheapest one is to just get used to it like grampa did. The second easiest is to buy a short pitman arm. These really work! I have one on my 30 Town Sedan. But check the roundness of the ball ends. Any ridges should filed off and maybe the ball replaced. Oh yeah, and make sure the tires are fully inflated.
