IIRC the T-Bird steering wheel, steering column and steering box shaft each have keyed wide splines so they only fit together one way, and should be in the "straight-ahead" position.
Because the steering wheel is off-center something underneath needs attention and could be the source of the vibration.
Worn or dried out A-arm bushings aren't helping.
Might be time to find a good friendly front-end / alignment shop.

Took the words right outa my mouth. Will swap wheels with the fairlane and see if that changes anything.
Also will do some more poking around on the front end and see what else needs replacing. Anticipating a lot.
Wasn't aware of the keyed splines on the wheel/column/box. Could the off-center wheel be due to tie-rod ends being out of adjustment?
