The info and illustrations on page 4-4 of the '57 shop manual may be helpful.

Rotate the steering box or steering wheel back & forth a few times until you can determine when the movement of the steering box & pitman arm is centered, the middle spoke of the steering wheel should be pointing straight down.
Point the tires & wheels straight ahead and the tie-rod placement may become evident.
