Just get it in a position where you can investigate it. Get someone to work the steering while you look and feel for the source of the free play. Jack it up and push and pull the wheel about. keep checking it using the other side as a reference.
It's a generic problem, nothing to do with early fords or MIIs just treat it like any car. It has a problem, keep looking until you can isolate it.

If it is the wheel bearings, it is a simple adjustment.
